ENDURANCE (Occre kit)

Guys, this posting is to answer a question I got on another built about the steering system blocks

I did the blocks. It was really very easy. If my memory is correct, I used 2x2 mm basswood strips. Driller the main hole for the chain and drilled a small perpendicular hole to fake the bolt that keeps the wheel. The wheel was shaped using a small file after shaping the block.

They are 5 mm long. I painted them gray. The hook is a very small blackened brass wire.
