When I converted I had to drill a new hole on each side because the old style rims were wider at the center hub. It was also a pain to the get the second cotter pin in on each side due to the angle. I had to cut one of each down a very little bit. Also I sprayed a bunch of sailkote into the delrin bearings before reinstalling.

I just put a used set together and had to reuse old bent stainless cotter pins. Helped to get them as straight as possible with a pair of pliers then squeeze ends together with a small piece of duct tape that exetended just beyond the cotter pin. This allowed me to shape the end of the duct tap to a point, makinging it easier to get the cotter pin throught the drilled holes.
