Reply to "Lionel GG1 JLC (not "Legacy) truck restoration in brass."

The install went well, just a few snags.   To get my old frame out, I did have to remove a small clip held by 2 smaller screws.  This wasn’t too clear in any previous comments.  

Also, the 1 1/2” long shiny metal L pin held down by a larger head screw; Henning’s instructions show a spring on it.  If there was a small spring under mine, it is gone now.  I thought something flew past my nose when I pulled up on the pin with my needle nose pliers, but I could not find a small spring anywhere.   I am not really sure of the small spring’s purpose, as I don’t have any operational issues running without it.

Also, as I stated before, to get the pipe off of the frame, I did snap off the ends of the 2 brass stanchions and had to super glue them in place on the replacement frame.  

Finally, the 2 tiny GG1 plaques are now in a baggie in the original GG1 box.  They fell off of my original frames and I didn’t want to risk losing them if they would fall off the replacement frames.
