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 Porsche 917KH, 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.

STEP 1
Take the hub carrier
joint (29L) and fit it
into the upper control
arm (29A), then secure
by driving a DM screw
through the larger
hole (red arrow).
Fit the lug of the hub
carrier joint (29L) into
the hole at the top of
the hub carrier top
(29H). Fix the parts
together using a CM
screw as shown.
Next fit the two lower
control arm brackets
(29K), marked with a
‘3’, onto the ends of
the lower control arm
(29J) as shown. Secure
each in place by
driving an EM screw
through the larger
hole of each bracket
(red arrows).
STEP 2
STAGE 29: INSTALLING THE FRONT
RIGHT SUSPENSION
If the screws are hard
to drive through,
use a drop of oil to
lubricate them.

STAGE 29: INSTALLING THE FRONT
RIGHT SUSPENSION
Now take the other
hub carrier joint (29L)
and fit it into the end
of the lower control
arm (29J) as shown.
Fix the parts together
using a DM screw,
driving it through the
larger hole (red arrow)
of the control arm.
Take the shock
absorber cylinder
(29F) and the shock
absorber lower
bracket (29G), marked
with a ‘2’. Push the
parts together as
shown, then drive a
DM screw through
the larger hole of the
bracket (red arrow).
Fit the square lug of
the shock absorber
lower bracket (29G)
into the corresponding
hole in the lower
control arm (29J).
Secure using a BM
screw as shown.

STEP 3
Fit the hub carrier
bottom (29I) onto
the top of the lower
control arm (29J),
then secure together
using a CM screw.
Note the control arm
should be able to
rotate freely.
STAGE 29: INSTALLING THE FRONT
RIGHT SUSPENSION
Now place the hub
carrier bottom (29I)
onto the hub carrier
top (29H), then secure
together using two
BM screws.
The front right suspension assembly should
now look like this.

STEP 4
Position the shock
absorber upper
bracket (29C), marked
with a ‘1’, onto the top
of the shock absorber
piston (29D). Drive
an EM screw through
the larger hole of the
bracket (red arrow).
Take the dashboard
frame assembly from
Stage 28 and fit the
shock absorber upper
bracket (29C) in place
on the side of the
frame. Secure in place
using a BM screw.
Position the upper control arm (29A) on the
dashboard frame (27A) in the orientation shown,
then fit the brackets (29B) in place over the ends of
the upper control arm.

STAGE 29: INSTALLING THE FRONT
RIGHT SUSPENSION
Secure the brackets
firmly in place using
two BM screws. The
suspension should be
able to move, so be
sure not to overtighten
the screws.
