Just To reconfirm,Ive rechecked my two model 1's and they are exactly 290mm between front axle mounts. So with all our other info its a definate.

Now something else to consider Ive also checked my early Model 1/2 thats the Model 2 with the Model 1 Parts and it appears its also running a Model 1 Base At 290mm,With front and rear axles both in model 2 circlip styles.

4 Rotomo 2s came in at 280 mm and 1 at 285 which is just a minor discrepency and id say,no issues. So again also reconfirmed as accurate.

Rear axle on the model 1's is Exactly 16" or 406mm. Full floating axle with NO inner circlip stays and holes in the ends for the split pins.

Model 2 is also at 16" Predominantly Steel wheels and ALL plastic Wheel models have Circlip ends + Inner circlip axle retainer.....Although some early model 2's having split pin axles is not uncommon.

Havnt checked plastic wheel rotomos for rear axle length yet,but not anticipating any difference.

So Im assuming unless its had axles changed...Your chassis is a very early Model 2 Version and would look nice kept original....What are your thoughts Jonesy? So time to start finding a nice early serial??? The Give it to me! lmao....
