Hi Tim,
Ouch -- that's gotta hurt! If the bogies have have been cemented solidly to the hull, it sounds like saw time. I don't know if it is feasible to remove the entire suspension, though. Since it is the horizontal return roller arms that are the problem, why not saw or carve these off flush with the rear of the carrier? Cutting off only the arms seems a little less traumatic (for both you and the M-36) than removing the bogies in their entirety. Of course, then you have to round up a set of upswept return roller arms.What do you think?
I hope this helps,
Paul |
