Hi Rod
Fortunately most of my points were already switched to the right direction. A couple needed to be cleared of loose snow to ensure the blades properly bedded against the stock rails. However, the point which was on the raised section was completely iced up (and frozen in the wrong direction - Sod's Law). That took a fair bit of fettling and persuasion to free it up.

I did get mine free eventually, with a very small amount of de-icer rubbed on with a cloth over the rails and the lever point, didn’t want to put to much on just in case, you never know with that stuff...
