Screws TYPE MD06 5 [inc. 1 spare]
STAGE 23 PARTS LIST
ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS
Spare screws are included with each part.
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 magnetised 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.

STEP 1
ATTACH THE MIDDLE CHASSIS TO THE
REAR MAIN CHASSIS ASSEMBLY
Take the Rear Chassis Assembly that you
assembled in Stage 22. Align the four screw
holes at the rear end of the Middle Chassis with
the corresponding lugs on the Rear Chassis
Assembly. Press the two together, paying
particular attention to ensure that the parts are
sitting flush. Fix the two parts together using 4 x
TYPE MD06 screws.

STEP 1
ATTACH THE FRONT FLOOR PAN TO THE
CHASSIS ASSEMBLY
Take the Front Floor Pan and position it above the Chassis
Assembly that you assembled in Stage 23. Align the three
eyelets on the rear of the Front Floor Pan with the three
lugs on the Chassis Assembly. Then align the screw holes
in the front of the chassis, see picture 6. Fix one MP03
screw in the largest anchor hole as indicated in picture 3.
Do not tighten this screw fully – it will need to be removed
at a later stage.

PLEASE NOTE
Only loosely connect the Floor Pan for now – do not tighten the screws. The Floor Pan
will have to be removed later to enable the exhaust pipes to be attached.
!
EXPERT TIP
Fully tighten all the screws to make sure
that the threads are fully cut, then slack
the screws off a turn. This will make
removal and reassembly easier.

FINISH SECURING THE FLOOR PAN TO THE CHASSIS
Make sure the tabs are flush with the chassis, then place 4 x TYPE
MD02 screws in the anchor points indicated in picture 4. Tighten
the screws, but be careful not to overtighten. Then place 2 x TYPE
MD06 screws in the anchor points located on each side of the
transmission tunnel, as shown in picture 5.
Finish by fixing 2 x TYPE MD06 screws on the raised, sloping

STEP 1
FIT THE GEARBOX TO THE CHASSIS
ASSEMBLY
On the upper side of the Gearbox, you’ll find
two mounting lugs which correspond to the
two holes in the Chassis Assembly.
The Gearbox tapers towards one end – the
thinner end has a groove into which the free
end of the Driveshaft will fit. Once correctly
aligned, push the gearbox into place.
Holding the Gearbox in one hand, turn the
Chassis Assembly over and secure it in place
from the other side, using 2 x MP01 screws in
the corresponding holes.
