BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

AGORAMODELS JAGUAR E-TYPE
2
Spare screws are included with each part. Occasionally, you may be instructed to keep spare or
unused screws for a later stage. Keep these spares in a safe place and label them correctly.
Please make sure you don’t mix up the screws. They look quite similar, but the threads do vary
slightly. Using the wrong screws may damage the parts.
When securing parts together using multiple screws, fit each screw loosely to ensure all the
parts are correctly aligned before gently tightening them firmly, but not overtight, in the order
in which you placed them.
The screwdriver can be magnetized by stroking it with a magnet (fridge magnet, etc.) enabling
it to hold the screws and make assembly easier.
If a screw is tight going into a metal part, do not force it as you may shear the head off. Remove
it and put a tiny smear of Vaseline, soap or light oil on the thread. That will lubricate it and make
it easier to drive home.
During the course of this build, you will receive many pieces that you will assemble immediately
– following the instructions in the corresponding stage – and other pieces that you should store
safely to one side, for use in future assembly stages.
Left and Right! When building your Jaguar, the left or right hand side refers to each side as you
are sitting in the car.
WARNING: Some parts are assembled using magnets. These magnets can cause serious injury
if they are swallowed. Keep away from children. If you suspect a magnet has been swallowed,
seek medical help straight away.

FIX THE INLET CAMSHAFT TO THE CYLINDER HEAD
The inlet camshaft is different to the exhaust camshaft so check you
have the correct part. Align the three pins on the inlet camshaft with
the corresponding holes on the cylinder head. The projections on the
upper surface should angle outwards.
FIX THE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT TO THE CYLINDER HEAD
Align the three pins on the exhaust camshaft to the opposite side of
the cylinder head so that the projections on the upper surface angle
outwards.
Fit in place.
Correct positioning of the camshafts.

ATTACH THE THROTTLE LINKAGE TO THE MANIFOLD
Align the three pins on the throttle linkage with the corresponding
holes on the manifold as shown, then fit into place.
This shows how your assembly should look.
Secure from the reverse side using 2 x AG02 screws.
Take the shaft and note that one end has ridges (see inset). Feed the
unridged end through the holes in the throttle linkage.

Push the shaft through the holes as far as it will go.
This shows how your assembly should look.
Using pliers, squeeze the ridged end of the shaft through the first
small hole to anchor the shaft into position.
The three suction chambers will be used in the next stage. Keep them
in a safe place until required. It is also a good idea to label and keep
any unused screws in case you need spares at a later stage of the
build!

Align the petrol feed pipe with the assembly as shown. There are three
fixing points – see circled in the next picture.
Align the air cleaner with the circular mounting on the manifold,
noting the two fixing pins.
Using tweezers, push the hole on the left hand side of the pipe over
the projecting pin on the lower float bowl (1). Connect the central hole
on the pipe to the pin on the central float bowl (2), and then connect
the remaining union to the pin on the third float bowl at the right
hand side (3). Apply a drop of superglue if necessary.
