Does anyone have a good view of how the brass truck wiper strips are positioned? Mine keep binding on the trucks. When I take the shell off to adjust them they fall out.  I'm tempted to remove them and solder fine wires from the wheel wipers to the frame sides instead. |

The wipers have to fit into the chassis tightly. If they are loose, it will bind the trucks. Every time you take off the shell, make sure the trucks don't bind. If one truck is causing the binding, swap it out with the replacement truck.

Let me clarify that. The truck is not rotating freely. It is catching on the wipers.
The brass strips seem to be located differently than my SD70M's and look like they are intended to ride outboard of the frame. A pic would help if anyone taken their shell off. This is where some documentation such as exploded views and assembly drawings would be helpful.
