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 upper and lower half of the silencer and align them as shown,
noting that the holes and longer posts (circled) are closer to one end.
Secure the two halves of the silencer together using 4 x AG06 screws.
Place the upper half onto the lower half of the silencer, so that the
long posts fit through the holes (circled).
Take the floor panel assembly from Stage 48. Locate the two holes
on the floor panel assembly and align the two pegs on the silencer
assembly with them (arrows). Note the direction the exhaust pipes
(circled) are facing on the silencer assembly.

The process for assembling this wheel
is exactly the same as for your first and
second wheel. Don’t forget, the trick is to
adjust the tension on the spokes by
gently pressing and twisting the wheel
centre. Also check you have the spokes
hooked around the wide tooth on the
spoke retainer when instructed.

Take the wheel centre and note that there is a small notch that aligns
with a corresponding tab on the jig (arrows). The jig is used here to
assist with building the wheel and will be removed towards the end of
the wheel-build.
Take the wheel rim from Stage 50 and align the hole on the outer
edge with the pin on the jig (arrows).
Fit the wheel centre onto the jig.
Fit the wheel rim onto the jig, pressing firmly to lock the rim

Before you begin, note that the inner edge of the spoke retainer
ring has a series of ‘teeth’, alternating in size (see picture 6). Each
spoke has a right-angled tip, and a flat head on the opposite end.
Use your tweezers to thread the spokes and hook them into place.
Start by threading a spoke, leading with the tip, through a hole in
the innermost row of holes in the wheel centre. (Note: The spokes in
Stages 50 & 51 are the same.)
Then take another spoke and thread it through the next hole in the
innermost row of the wheel centre. Pull the spoke through the hole
and hook the tip around the next ‘wide’ tooth.
Pull the spoke through the hole and hook the tip around the nearest
‘wide’ tooth that gives the spoke a comfortable fit.
NOTE: The key to fitting the spokes correctly is to adjust the tension on
each spoke as you fit it by gently pushing and/or twisting the wheel
centre with your thumb.
Fit the third spoke in the same way, and continue all the way around
the wheel until you have filled all the holes on the inner row of the
wheel centre. Check that they are hooked around the wide teeth. If
they are not hooked around wide teeth, the spokes will not fit and the
wheel parts will not fit together at the end of the build.

This is how your wheel should look after fitting the first row of spokes.
Start in the same way, threading the tip of a spoke through a hole in
the uppermost row.
Check that all the spokes have been fitted to the innermost row of the
wheel centre. Next, you will fit spokes to the uppermost row.
The spoke tips will now face in the opposite direction to those fitted
on the bottom row. Make sure that they are hooked around a ‘wide’
tooth otherwise they cannot be secured in place in a later step.

Repeat steps 11 & 12 to fit the second spoke in a hole adjacent to the
first spoke on the upper row.
The second row of spokes has been fitted.
Continue to fit all the spokes in the same way, all the way round the
upper row, ensuring that they hook around a wide tooth.
Prepare 4 x AG02 screws and have your screwdriver ready.
Carefully align the spoke retainer ring over the wheel. The projecting
screw holes on the ring (arrows) will fit onto the raised screw holes as
indicated. Lower the ring into position.
Note: the projecting pin on the spoke retina locates in the notching
the wheel rim.

Hold the retainer in position so that the spokes are secured as you fit
an AG02 screw.
All four screws have been fitted and the spokes are now held securely
in place.
Keep holding everything together as you fit the remaining
3 x AG02 screws.
Gently prise the wheel off the jig. Do not pull the wheel – try to
carefully release it using a screwdriver or similar tool that will act
as a lever.
Keep the jig as you’ll need it to assemble the remaining wheels.

Take the spacer ring and align it over the wheel from Stage 51. There is
a hole on the ring with a corresponding peg on the wheel (arrows) to
ensure the correct fit.
Turn the wheel over so that the smaller side of the wheel centre is
facing you. Note that there are two rows for threading the spokes –
an inner row and an outer row. You’re going to start on the inner row.
Lower the ring onto the wheel and press firmly until it clicks into place.
Using tweezers, thread a type A spoke through a hole on the
inner row. Direct the tip of the spoke through the diamond-shaped
opening slightly clockwise (coloured red above) so that the tip pokes
through to the opposite side.

Turn the wheel over and check that the tip will hook onto a wide tooth
on the opposite side. If it doesn’t fit a wide tooth, start again, threading
the spoke through the next diamond-shaped hole along.
Continue to thread the type A spokes all the way around the inner row,
pushing the tip through alternate diamond-shaped openings
as indicated.
Once you are happy that the first spoke is fitted correctly, thread the
next spoke through an adjacent hole in the lower row, but this time,
poke it through the diamond-shaped hole that is two-along.
All 12 x type A spokes have been fitted to the inner row.

The 12 spokes should poke out on the opposite side of the wheel like
this. Leave them all loose for now.
When you fit the first type B spoke, thread it through an empty
diamond-shaped opening (see step 12) and check that it will hook
around a wide tooth on the opposite side as shown here.
Fit the type B spokes to the outer row of the wheel centre, just above
the type A spokes.
When you thread the type B spoke through to the opposite side,
it should cross a type A spoke and fit through an empty diamond-
shaped opening. It should lead slightly anti-clockwise.
Check that it will hook a wide tooth, but do not hook it just yet, leave
the spokes loose.

Continue to thread the type B spokes all the way around the outer row,
pushing the spoke through alternate diamond-shaped openings. This
picture shows all 12 x type B spokes have been fitted to the outer row
of the wheel centre and are left loose on the underside.
Keep holding the cotton wool firmly as you turn the wheel over.
Use a piece of cotton wool or kitchen paper to hold the pin ends of the
spokes in place in the inner and outer rows of the wheel centre.
Keep holding the wheel centre firmly, as you gently hook the ends
of spokes A and B around the teeth. Use your thumb in a stroking
motion, or tweezers here. The fit of the spokes can be lightly adjusted
by gently pressing and/or twisting the wheel centre with your thumb.

Spokes A and B are correctly hooked in place around the teeth.
Press the inner wheel rim into place. Check that the gap between the
spoke retainer ring and the inner rim has closed up. If not, remove the
inner rim and recheck the position of the spokes, Step 17.
Take the inner wheel rim and align the four screw holes, and the
pin with its corresponding hole (arrows). Prepare 4 x AG03 screws
and a screwdriver.
Fix the inner wheel rim in place with 4 x AG03 screws.
