Assembling the ejector.
The ejector mechanism uses all the parts provided this time plus four of the 2.3x6mm black self-tapping screws from Issue 35.
Align the rack with the base plate and plug the tab on the base plate into the socket on the rack. Secure the parts with a 2.3x6mm self-tapping screw.Take the drive motor, undo its lead and remove any kinks in the lead. Feed the motor cable through the large hole in the left half motor housing ensuring you feed it from the correct side.

Fit the cross-shaped socket in the drive gear onto the motor shaft. The gear should fit all the way into the circular recess in the housing.
Undo the cable connecting the limit switches and straighten it out. One switch has a yellow lead and the other has a black lead. Line up the switch with the black lead with the housing closest to the drive gear. Press the hole in the switch onto the pin in the housing. Align the other switch with the left hand end of the housing and press the hole in the switch onto the pin in the housing.Align the rack with the housing and fit the rack into the housing as far to the left as possible, meshing its teeth with the drive gear.
Fit the right half of the housing over the left half making sure you do not dislodge any of the parts you just fitted. Fit a 2.3x6mm black self-tapping screw through the fixing hole in the right half of the housing nearest the yellow cable. Tighten the screw to hold the assembly together. Fit two more screws into the other two holes on the same side of the right housing. That completes the drive assembly.
