q

1. Put a 3/8" Short Head Ball Stud (33) on each side of the rear

Shock Tower into the middle of the lowest set of holes and secure it

with a 4-40 Mini Nut (183).

q

2. Insert a 4-40 x 3/4" Cap Head Screw (130), (from the same

direction as the Ball Studs) one on each side of the Shock tower (58),

into the middle of the upper set of holes. Secure the Screws to the

Tower by threading a 4-40 Zinc Nut (182) over each Screw and tight-

ening.

q

3. Install the rear Body Mount (65) by aligning the mounting hole

in the Body Mount with the hole in the middle of the Shock Tower.

Secure the Body Mount by threading a 4-40 x 3/8" Cap Head Screw

(131) through the Shock Tower and into the Body Mount as indicated

in Figure 51.

q

4.  Install the rear Wing Mounts (63) by aligning the mounting

holes in the Wing Mounts with the holes to the side of the Shock

Tower. Secure the Wing Mounts by threading a 4-40 x 3/8"Cap Head

Screw (131) through the Shock Tower and into the top hole of the

Wing Mounts as indicated in Figure 51.

q

5.  Install a Swaybar Ball (133) onto each end of the Swaybar (92)

by threading a 4-40 x 1/8" Set Screw (136) into the Swaybar Ball and

tightening onto the Swaybar.

q

6.  Place the Swaybar against the Shock Tower, as shown in

Figure 51, and slide it up under the rear Body Mount. Capture the

Swaybar on each side by placing a Swaybar Mount (161) (small side

up) over it, and threading a 4-40 x 1/2 Cap Head Screw (129) through

the Mount and into the lower holes of the rear Wing Mounts.

 

Take care when mounting the Swaybar so that the Mounts are

not crooked, which would create bind in the motion of the Swaybar.

Also be sure not to over-tighten the screws also creating bind.

q

1. Slide a .250 x .020 Washer (152) over four 4-40 x 3/8" Cap Head

Screws (151).

q

2. Attach the rear Shock Tower (58) to the rear of the Chassis (46)

with four 4-40 x 3/8" Cap Head Screws. The Screws  thread into the

top-most and bottom-most holes surrounding the posts, which stick

out from the rear of the Chassis. The Shock Tower should interlock

with the posts on the Chassis.
 

 

There is a short Thread-Cutting Screw included in the Wrench

bag. This Screw can be used to tap threads in the holes in the Main

Chassis. Pre-tapping these holes makes it easier to install the Screws

during assembly.
