Spokes, rims and hubs have been machined very carefully by STW, there is not much clearance. For that reason this tip may be helpful:
Do not tighten any screw, leave them as loose as possible, until all spokes are in place. Only after that you may start to tighten them. Going this way I didn't need to correct or relocate any of the holes.
I give that hint because I just fell over the very angry postings by johnzzr from July 2021, you find them in the thread "Just saving to start my build" by infliction4664. I do not agree at all with johnzzr. I guess he is one of the poor home-working-guys, who hast lost patience prematurely, because he simply hasn't collected enough experience to handle such a complex project like a steam traction engine.
