Quote:Why the hobnails have a letter on the base? I've got some from LaPrevo and have one as well. Are so the original ones?
This is one of the things I meant when I wrote above that not all of the materials are acceptable for a 100% reconstruction (the glue I used is another of those). I went as far as I could with what was available to me at the moment and unfortunately the nails I used were the best I had. Might be they are from LePrevo, I got those 2nd hand. I find them somewhat acceptable as (besides the "R") they look somewhat like used originals, i.e. cones with worn away tips (the "R's" should be gone after a few miles).
Cheers,
Martin
