When the glue fixing the Pivot Spacers has
set, remove the Pivot Frames from the loco
and glue the 11 x 18 rectangles to the top
surfaces of the Frames. Use the 2mm screw
and scrap etch once more to clamp the joint
flat. Also glue the 11 x 3.5 rectangles to the
Frames, one to each side.
Cut two lengths of the 4mm brass tube
supplied, to pass through the pivot holes in
the chassis casting and rest on the top surface
of the Pivot Spacers.
Glue the brass tubes in place.
Fit the M2 nylon insulators, supplied in the
kit, into the tubes. Shorten each one, if
necessary, so that it is supported by the
underside of its top flange resting on the top of
the tube, with its lower end clear of the top of
the Pivot Spacer.
The M2 nylon insulator can be shortened by
placing it over the shank of a 2.1mm drill,
for support, then rolling it on the bench under
a sharp knife blade to make the cut around its circumference.
When the glue has set thoroughly, fit the
Pivot Frames into their bogie apertures, flat
up against the Pivot Spacers, filing down the
thickness of the 11 x 3.5 plastic spacers as
required to give a snug fit against the sides of
the apertures.
Remove the two etched M2 tag washers
(P4) from the fret and place them on each
of the 2mm screws. Refit the Pivot Frames to
the chassis block, securing them with the screws.
Shorten the 2mm screws, as required, so that they end flush with the face of each
fixing nut.
