Hi John

This has never been discussed before, and I also would be grateful
for further input.

What you say sounds perfectly feasable, but I have to make an
assumption here that the hole in the bearing, in the W-Iron actually
goes all the way through, so that you can set up the bearings on both
sides at once. If that is the case then it seems a perfect solution.
Hence the axleguards are dummy, and glued on after

What make of spring suspension units are you using?

Regards Phil
