PACK 8
Stage 39
Contains: Gun Barrel Rotor, Screws
For this stage, you will need the gun barrel rotor, the turret, the gun barrel, the spring, and screws.
Align the holes in the side of the gun barrel rotor with the posts on the underside of the turret. Lower the rotor into place.
Insert the three screws received with this stage into the three holes in the rotor. Tighten the screw at the rear into place and then tighten the other two screws into place.
Place the spring over the raised circular projection in the centre of the turret.
Take the gun barrel and insert the tab at the rear of the recoil mechanism into the hole in the front of the rotor. The spring will hold the recoil mechanism away from the turret until it is fitted to the base. The two posts on the side of the mechanism will engage with the holes near the front of the turret.
This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.davetwin attached the following image(s):

Take the two yellow brackets and fit them to the left of the rear of the lower hull. Fit the two green brackets into the right of the lower hull.
Place the bearing from one of the idler wheels onto the axle at the front of the hull. Insert the bolt into the centre of the idler wheel. Test-fit the washer on the bolt.
Pass the bolt through the bearing, and place the washer onto the end of it. Then place the split washer onto the end of the bolt. Tighten the nut, by hand, onto the end of the bolt. Holding the nut with one hand, tighten the bolt with a screwdriver.
