I've a couple of the excellent Lionheart Panniers and I'm looking for information to convert these to s7. Anyone done this yet?

Martyn ( Chuffer on here) has an example.
I was told by Richard W that the brake gear needed some outward adjustment and the wheels were not re-profiled but simply moved out to S7 back-to-back.
Apparently the tyre profile, whilst not S7, is finer than most and thus proved to be just about ok as it is so re-profiling may not be a necessity?
Might be worth PMing Chuffer (in fact I have been meaning to do the same since speaking with Richard, so if you do can you copy me in too?).

Thanks Tony, You've reminded me of the thread. Looks like it is any easy job with the existing wheels but I'll see about getting reprofiled.
Two questions if I may on the Dapol (ex-Lionheart) 64/74xx:
1) I plan to renumber one using Severn Mill plates. How might the current plastic plates be removed - I am assuming they are not an integral part of the plastic cab moulding?
2) I have seen several examples converted to S7 by having the wheels moved out to the appropriate back-to-back as mentioned in the thread above. Any thoughts on how to dismantle the chassis (and in particular to remove the brakegear) so that this could be done?
Many Thanks
