Alice kit instructions 

 
 
 
Please read through the instructions and familiarize your self with the parts before starting. Left 
and right hand sides refer to the engine as seen from the drivers point of view. Copper pipe work 
gets work hardened, if you are struggling to get it bent to shape you can anneal (soften) it by 
getting it red hot and plunging in to water. Be careful not to melt any solder joints or fittings, you 
can do this any number of times until the pipe is correct. Be careful on tight bends, squeeze the 
pipe across its width in a vice if it begins to flatten. 
 
 
 
 

1.

 The chassis comes complete and may be run on air before commencing with the kit build. The 

pipe work from the axle pump to the back of the engine should be removed for ease of build, be 
sure not to lose the ball from the top of the pump. Put the washers and banjo bolt back in the pump 
for safe keeping. 
  
 
 

 

 

 
 

2.

 Screw the blast pipe into the top of the valve block, center hole. This pipe will need to be 

centralized under the chimney when the smoke box is in place. It is quite soft and can be bent to 
shape as required.
