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.

Take the completed wheel from stage 40. Prepare a hot water bath by
filling a small bowl with boiling water. Soak the tyre in the water for 2
minutes.
Note: The tyre shown in pictures 1-4 is the spare tyre from Stage 25,
and differs slightly in the tread pattern from the tyre supplied in this
Stage. The method for fitting the tyre is the same.
Working quickly while the tyre is pliable, push the wheel into the tyre
and twist to fit the outer wheel rim under the inner rim of the tyre.
Carefully remove the tyre from the water bath using tongs or tweezers
- the tyre will be very hot! Shake off any excess water and dab on
kitchen paper or a towel.
Keep pushing and pulling, working around the tyre, until the side walls
fit comfortably over the wheel rim on both sides.

The tyre has been fully fitted to the wheel and is now ready to fix to
the front subframe assembly from Stage 37.
Take the washer and drop it onto the end of the stub axle, as shown in
picture 8.
Holding the wheel as shown, align the two lugs on the wheel centre
with the two notches in the right front axle. Position the wheel in
place, ensuring the lugs fit into the notches.

Take the bonnet catch plate and the front subframe assembly. Fit the
pin on the back of the catch plate into the hole located in the centre of
the front bulkhead.
The front subframe assembly should now look like this, with the
bonnet catch plate in place.
Holding the catch plate in place, fix it to the bulkhead using a
type AG02 screw as shown.
Take the upper and lower casing parts, along with the two rear brakes
and two universal joints. Match up the left rear brake with the left
universal joint by locating the ‘L’ on the parts (inset).
Do the same for the right rear brake and joint by locating the ‘R’.

Holding the drive unit in place, turn the subframe over and secure the
assembly with 1 x type AG04 screw and 1 x type AG06 screw.
Note: be aware two different screws are used. Make sure to screw
the correct type in place to avoid damaging the threads.
