Second part is getting the road wheels, idlers, and return rollers ready for paint. I'm using stock idlers, Schumo KV0013 steel road wheel set. Each wheel has two bearings, a cast resin center disc, and uses the stock Tammy center disc center. Also being used is the Schumo KV0021 support rollers. The stock rollers take the usual Tammy bronze bushings. Again, I have eased out the bushing holes 1.5 mm down each to take two 7 x 4 unflanged bearings in the rollers. They will take the stock Tammy center discs. All the after market parts except the bearings used in this build, and there will be a lot of them, are available from Etoarmour.

I simply put a blue painter's tape all the way around the wheel, roll it on the work bench to seat all the tape, then take an Xacto knife and cut off the excess tape so only the contact surfaces are covered. Tomorrow it the weather holds up I'll blow some primer on all of them. On the idlers, I also tossed the three phillips screws in each assembly in the spares bin and replaced them with socket head screws of the same length.
