Orientating the nuts
The four M3 nuts are
put in place on the left
side of the chassis.
Ensure that the nuts
are the right way up
to receive the screws.
The circular side of the
nut should be facing
upwards and the
hexagonal side facing
downwards inside the
housing.
The chassis
Now attach the
chassis to the
left side of the
undercarriage, as
shown here. The
undercarriage should
fit onto the lugs on
the chassis and the
screw holes should
align perfectly.
The nuts in position
In this photograph,
you can see all four M3
nuts in place on the left
side of the chassis. It is
important to position
the nuts beforehand, so
that you can then insert
the M3 x 12mm screws
without difficulty.
The first two nuts
In this photo, you can
see the first two M3
nuts placed in their
sockets on the left side
of the chassis.
Insert the screws
While holding the
undercarriage and the
chassis together, insert
the M3 x 12mm screws.
These screws are large
enough that they
can be put in place
directly with your
fingers, as shown in
the photograph.
