Any help in getting these front wheels to turning wheels greatly appreciated. Here's the parts and plans on the Greyhound M8

You're going to need to cut the front axle just behind the hub, then i would drill a hole and put some fuse wire in for support and set the wheels at the angle you want. Youll probably have to sand a bit of the axle off as well so as to not increase the track of the front wheels.

Good luck.

The above method will get the "look" of turned wheels. It is the easy way to do it. If you want them turned accurately, you will also have to cut apart the steering arms and knuckles (B4 and B17 & B18) and readjust them so they are also turned.

Gino - you're right!

It was getting late when i answered!!

These guys have got it. I've done it on three or four vehicles - two in a current project (one recent one was an M20).
Here is a mid-process shot. Cut inside the 'ball joints', cut the stearing arm. Add a wedge, I put a flat disk in and sanded it down. Then reconnect everything.
Edit - the angle on this is really small. You can sand the white as much as you want to get more turning.

For a pittance you can use the RESICAST #R352239.
