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 anti-roll bar and push one of the anti-roll bar links over the
pin at one end. Make sure the pin on the link faces the anti-roll bar.
Repeat the process to fit the second link on the opposite end.
Secure the link with an AG08 screw.
Position the anti-roll bar on the front of the subframe, within the
triangles formed by the diagonal stays at the front of the subframe.

Locate the flat tabs on both ends of the anti-roll bar on the supports
on the subframe.
Secure the link from the front using an AG08 screw.
Feed the pins on the end of the links into the holes in the bottom
wishbone.
Fit the link on the other end of the anti-roll bar in the same way,
securing it with another AG08 screw.

Take one of the anti-roll bar mountings and fit it over the anti-roll bar,
lining up the hole and the pin. Note: you may need to file a little excess
plastic off the pin and/or clearn any flash or paint from the hole to
ensure a good fit.
Repeat the process on the opposite end of the anti-roll bar, securing
the second mounting in place with another AM17 screw.
Secure the mounting in place with an AM17 screw.
Take the steering rack mounting and align the pins on the underside
with the matching holes in the subframe.

subframe with the screwhole in the end aligned with the second
screwhole on the steering rack mounting.
Secure in place from the underside using an AG04 screw.
Secure the right-hand lower brace to the steering rack mounting
using an AG04 screw. Be careful not to over tighten this screw.

Now take the engine assembly and position the water pump above
the engine pulleys as shown.
Fit the water hose by pushing one end over the pin on the water
pump, and tuck the other end behind the plug leads.
Fit the water pump behind the uppermost pulley.
This is how the water hose should look once fitted.

Returning to the subframe assembly, feed the steering column
assembly through the subframe until the gear at the end of the
steering column sits in the steering rack mounting (see step 22).
Now feed the steering rack assembly through the triangular braces
at the front of the subframe. Check that the teeth on the rack are
positioned so that they will align with the gear.
Note: when the wheels are pointing straight ahead, the flat side of the
‘D’ on the end of the steering column assembly (opposite the gear)
should be level and facing upwards (inset).
Press the gear into the mounting.
Check that the teeth on the rack are positioned so that they align and
mesh with the gear (arrow No 1). Fit the ends of the steering rack over
the posts on the steering uprights (arrow No 2).

Secure the steering rack to each upright using an AM16 screw
Secure the mounting in place using 2 x AM01 screws.
Take one of the steering rack mountings, using tweezers, position it
over the steering rack, lining up the two screwholes with the holes on
the subframe.
Repeat steps 26 & 27 to fit the other mounting to the right-hand side.

Now it’s time to fit the engine to the subframe. Start by lining up
the engine within the rear of the subframe. Make sure the steering
column is kept to the side and out of the way, resting on the mounting
point indicated.
Take the oil filter supplied with stage 26 and push it carefully onto the
face of the oil pump, as shown.
Carefully slide the engine into place so that the engine mounts line up
with the mounting points on the underside of the subframe. Secure
the engine mounts on both sides using 2 x AG06 screws. Note the
angle of the steering column (arrow).
This is how the oil filter should look when correctly fitted.

Fit the hose from stage 30 , pushing one end into the expansion tank
and the other end into the water outlet pipe.
Locate the end of the hose leading from the filler cap on the
expansion tank...
... and push it into the tiny hole in the engine block (circled).

Take the radiator hose and feed it through the front of the subframe.
Lower the sump onto the engine block, aligning the four corner pins
with the corresponding holes (circled). If the sump does not fit easily,
carefully scrape some pant off the four corner pins.
The innermost end fits on the pin at the end of the water pump,
leaving the ‘L’ shaped end projecting towards the front of the
subframe.
Push the sump firmly to fit. The oil pipe clips into the left side of the
sump, and the pegs on the two torsion bars press into holes in the
subframe.
Note: the sump is a push-fit attachment so that it can easily be
removed to access the batteries.

STAGE 34 PARTS LIST
Unpack the bulkhead. Check that
the subframe fits into the bulkhead
before adding any of the detail parts.
Refer to stage 35, step 1 (photos 3, 5
and 7). Remove paint from the pins
on the subframe if necessary. Once
you’re happy with the fit, remove the
bulkhead and continue with stage 35 to
start adding components to it.
