slide screws (see §
III 2 c
), washers (33) and locknuts (8). Tightening torque must be 1
daN/m. Please see drawing 1.

- Bend the aluminium gooseneck sideplates (13) with clamps to accurately camber
them to the mast shape. During bending please protect the plates from dings and dents.
III 3 c
– Fit the gooseneck onto the sideplates with the rivets. Would the sideplates be too
long, they can be re-cut if necessary, keeping in mind too much length is always better than
too little.
III 3 d

mast with clamps ( please protect the plates with convenient means). There should have at
least 8 pop rivets (14) on the mast on each side plate (13).

III 4 d
- Fit a 2 meter long normal luff profile (2) onto the connector/articulation (4) which has
been fit as described above.
