Repeat for the assembly of the second
bogie.
Checking Clearance over Worm Cover
Place the bogies on a level surface and lower the chassis block onto them, adjusting
the position of the bogies to line up the pivot holes.
Push down on the chassis block, at each end in turn, to compress the suspension
about 1 to 1.5mm. This is more than will normally occur in operation but, if the vertical
movement is restricted, to less than say about 0.75mm, by the chassis block coming to
rest on the tops of the worm covers, you might wish to substitute the plastic worm
covers by the etched covers supplied in the kit.
Fitting Etched Worm Cover (if required)
If you do wish to use one or both of the
etched worm covers (note that we did NOT
find that this was necessary in our test build,
and for preference would use the original
plastic covers), remove the cover etch from
the fret.
Having first fluxed the inner surface of each
fold-back, make the 180° folds, with the
fold line on the inside of each fold, at the
corners of the etch. Hold the folds closed and
secure them with solder.
