STEP 2
JOIN THE SHOCK ABSORBER CYLINDER TO
THE SHOCK ABSORBER SUPPORT
Align the shock absorber cylinder with the shock absorber
support and position the parts together so that the three
holes are aligned. Push the pin through the aligned holes,
leaving the grooved end protruding as shown. Fully insert
the pin by squeezing the ends with a pair of pliers.
FIX THE SHOCK ABSORBER SUPPORT
TO THE CHASSIS
Take the chassis assembly and unscrew the spring
plate mounted in Stage 20. Put the plate and
screws carefully to one side for use in the next step.
Fit the lug on the shock absorber support into
the hole in the chassis, ensuring that the shock
absorber cylinder orients in the direction shown in
picture 2. Holding the part in place, turn the chassis
over and screw in place using a TYPE MP01 screw.

ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS
The shock absorber support only goes
one way. If it doesn't sit flush, rotate it 180
degrees and try again.

JOIN THE SHOCK ABSORBER PISTON TO
THE SPRING PLATE AND FIX BACK ON
THE CHASSIS
Take the spring plate removed in step 2 and insert
the shock absorber piston in the hole as indicated in
picture x. Secure together using a TYPE MP03 screw.
Hold the shock absorber cylinder mounted on the
chassis with tweezers and insert the shock absorber
piston into the cylinder. Remount the spring plate
and secure with the corresponding screws.
TEST-FIT THE LEFT REAR BRAKE
The brake will be mounted at the end of the axle. It
will be very loose until the wheel is fitted. For now,
keep the brake in a safe place, ready to be fixed
correctly at a later stage.

BUILD THE LEFT REAR WHEEL
Soften the tire by soaking in a hot water-bath as
described in stage 53. Push the rim half way into the
tire before fitting around the rim. Leave to cool and
return to its original shape.
POSITION THE BRAKE ON THE RIM
Take the brake supplied in the previous stage. Align
the notch on the brake with the lug on the rim and
fit the parts together, ensuring that the silver side
faces the rim.

STEP 4
FIX THE LEFT REAR WHEEL TO THE
CHASSIS
Present the wheel & brake assembly up to the axle
on the left rear part of the chassis, taking care that
the brake does not come loose. Push the wheel
onto the axle as far as it will go and fix in place
with a TYPE MP03 screw, taking care not to over
tighten. Place the hubcap on top of the screw before
checking that the wheel is able to turn freely.
CHECK THE ROTATION
Turn the chassis over so it is the correct way up and
place it on your work surface. Gently press and roll
back and forth to check the operation of the wheel
that you have just completed.
