| Shown above are
the parts required to assemble the LOWER FRAME. As
previously with the upper frame, I suggest that you sort the screws out into
three different piles to ensure that you use the correct
ones as relevant, and get the spacers in separate piles too. |
 |
Get the plastic lower tray,
insert one of the long alloy tubes through one end, place it
on the rear of the frame, and fit a screw in each end.
Note the screw is a threaded screw,
NOT a self tapping screw. |
| Note the direction the tray is
fitted. The FRONT of the frame is to the right, the REAR is
to the left in this picture. |
 |
 |
We are now going to fit the
motor mounting tray in position. You
can do this with or without the motor being fitted to the
tray.
As you can see, the motor mount tray fits
on the upper side of the FRONT of the lower frame as shown
in the picture on the left.
Make sure that you insert the tray the correct
way up, with the mounting lugs pointing DOWNWARDS.
DO NOT apply thread lock just yet, just
secure it loosely with Nuts & Bolts by the rearmost
mounting holes only. |
| Spin the engine mount over
forwards to align the forward holes in the frame with the
lugs, and secure tightly with nuts & bolts - using
thread lock on the nuts. Return to the previous two
screws and thread lock these as well and fully tighten. |
 |
 |
Next we will fit the short
battery tray. Use nuts & bolts, but just pinch them up
and do not thread lock at this time.
Note that the first screws go into the
forward most of the holes in the frame only, and also into
the forward most holes in the tray. |
| This next part can be a little
fiddly...
We are going to fit the two parts of the
main frame, the UPPER and LOWER, together.
Look at the picture below right, and you
will see that we use the alloy spacers in various
combinations to achieve a good strong frame. Balancing
the frames and the spacers and the bolts can be a bit of fun, but you can do
it..... |
 |
| Now we need to add all the
alloy spacers to the lower frame assembly. These all
use the long bolts & nuts. Locate a spacer with a
bolt as shown, then pass the bolt through the correct hole
in the upper frame, add a second spacer between the frame
sides, and finally, a third spacer on the other side.
Pass the bolt all the way through and add a nut on the other
side - USE THREAD LOCK ON THESE and tighten fully. |
|
 |
The end result should look like
this, with the entire upper frame being able to pivot on the
bolt and spacers just add. (unless you tightened them up too
tight that is) |
| Pivot the top frame DOWNWARDS
and align the holes at the rear of the LOWER FRAME with
those on the UPPER FRAME as shown on the right.
Repeat as previously with three spacers in
total through both fitting holes.
Push bolts all the way through, THREAD
LOCK them, and tighten fully. |
 |
 |
The end result we are looking
for is as shown on the left.
GO BACK AND CHECK THAT ALL
THREE SETS OF LONG BOLTS ARE FULLY TIGHTENED AND THREAD
LOCKED. |
|
Here is the end result that we are hoping to see ?
Does your frame look
like this ?
If so,
great job, have a scotch or something to celebrate your hard
work. |
