Using a hacksaw blade or flat file, make vertical slots 5mm long in the inside

edge of F5 & F6 to allow the ducting to slide into position, so there is a similar

amount protruding front and back. Glue in position with UHU All Plastics glue

or similar.

Note: the inboard edge of the ducting sits flush against F6, the gap around

the outboard side of the duct at F6 is filled in the next step.
