Hi David,

The radio tray has now gone. Finished remove the last Swiss bits today!

The wheels have curved spokes, I didn't know there were 2 types. I will post a pic of mine.

I've also got the curved spoke pattern. Both types look the same on the outside as mounted but the later pattern has what look like reinforcements and serve as mud/snow slingers. They might also have been used in conjunction with the later hulls which had scrapers on the rear. My hull never had the scrapers but I have a mixture of both types of the curve spoke wheels.

I have a few spares but shipping to the UK would make them cost prohibitive I'm afraid. Sure you can source some over there though is needed.

Ray in New York has a later hull with the scrapers and disc pattern wheels. Maybe he can post a photo showing them for reference.
