When you see the Fowler catalogue illustrating the D2 convertible as Queen of the Boyne it looks much more in proportion. The rear Traction Engine Wheels are the same size over the strakes as Q of B's home made ones are over the rubbers. This makes a massive difference.
Perhaps Rod Boesing or 8-10 can find the post with the catalogue picture shown?
Your reference to keeping them as rolls rather than bodged is misguided as Q of B was sold by Fowlers as a Convertible and is not a conversion and as such would have had sets of Rolls and Engine wheels supplied complete. Sadly the engine wheels were cut up as far as I can tell.
Hope that helps.
