As in step 33, lower the red ring

over the jumpers, one at a time

clockwise from the asterisk.

Like so.

Screw down the red circuit
board, using the nylon

washers (

#26

) as spacers.

Finally, solder the ten jumper connections

to the board and clip the leads short.

STEP 39: Adding the red ring
