Does anybody have an idea what the turning radius of a Dart is? The reason I ask I was doing a 'drag around the track test' of the recently completed motion and I was de-railing. I removed the 3 lower 6ba bolts holding stretcher 'D' which gave more lateral float to the rear axle and fixed the problem. Now I'm fitting the trunions for brake cross shaft and see that they are fitted to the outside of the frames with would have further reduced the float on the rear axle.

I've mounted the trunions on the inside of the frames and replaced the offending hex bolts with countersunks, but is it really a problem or am I missing something?
