cabin and carefully drill a 3 mm hole at the center of the holes you have just marked at the back
of the cabin. Slide the cabin back onto the mechanics rails and install a 3 mm bolt and washer
at the back of the cabin.

cabin standoffs have been extended, (step 13), glue a small wooden plug in the brass tube
extensions (with a 3 mm hole in the center) used as a solid filler in the standoffs.
