Stumpy's drivers were keyed and loctited.  No cranks on Stumpy so 
orientation is not a problem.

Topsy's drivers were keyed and loctited.  Topsy may have cranks, but they 
are for show only (both axles are chain driven) and they will be fitted as 
fly cranks on axle extensions, clamped so that adjustments can be made.

Cheers

Peter

HI All,

My drivers are usually Loctited onto the axle.After the Loctite has set I
drill a 6BA tapping hole so that is half in the axle and half in the
wheel.Tap it and then screw in a 6BA grub screw with a touch of Loctite on
it so that it is flush with the surface.
Not had one move ever.

Regards

Clif
