Note; bearings may also be soldered or glued directly in bracket sides, to facilitate use of axle collars.
2) the 4 brass chassis pcs. must remain unmodified with the exception of:
A ) slight filing of rear pc., for optimum bracket fit.
B ) slight filing of rear pc., for .078" main rails, if used.
C ) slight filing of front pc. slots for .078" main rails, if used.
D ) uprights not being used, be it on the front pc. or pans, may be trimmed on the vertical surface only. See below illustration.

excessively sanded/ cleaned to intentionally lighten chassis.
A ) the only thing allowed to be soldered to the exposed rails running between the front and rear pcs., is one simple "U" shaped pc. of wire, maximum .032" dia.,
