Remove
Centre Step Plate Left (90)
,
Centre Step Left Upper
(91)
and
Centre Step Left Lower (92)
from the fret. Bend
Centre Step Plate Left to shape as shown, there is a distinct
kink a few inches below the valence to move the steps away
from the loading gauge but in reality the displacement is only
the thickness of 0.6 mm.
Fold Centre Step Left Upper (91) to shape noting the the rear
part that attaches to the main plate folds downwards. Solder
into place.
Fold Centre Step Left Lower (92) into shape and solder into
place.
This will now fit between the foot plate supports and the
valence - but it may be better to do this later.
Repeat for the centre steps on the right side.
These fit behind the valence but final fitting should be done
later since handling errors can easily bend these out of shape.
Rear Steps
Note
Alternative chequer steps are provided for the rear steps
Remove Rear Step Plate Left (96), Rear Step Left Upper (97)
and Rear Step Left Lower (98) from the fret. Bend Rear Step
Plate Left (96) to shape as shown, there is a distinct kink a few
inches below the valence to move the steps away from the
loading gauge, noting the displacement is only 0.6 mm.
Fold Rear Step Left Upper (97) into shape and solder into
place.
Fold Rear Step Left Lower (98) into shape and solder into
place.
Repeat for the rear steps on the right side.
Leave the Rear Steps Stabilisers (99,103) until final fitting of
the steps to the body - just in case!
The steps will later fit behind the valence .
Valences
Note
If you have chosen to fit the buffer assemblies (front and rear)
to the foot plate, now is the time to solder them in place.
It may also seem convenient to line up the valences with the
tabs from the splashers and cab sides, this is discouraged
because the alignment aids will not work.
Tabs from the splashers may interfere with fitting the valences
so ensure they are filed flat against the underside of the foot
plates.
Remove
Valences Left & Right (18,19)
from the fret and very
carefully file off any remaining tags. There is a reverse curve in
the valence under the place where the foot plate widens so
