Issue 64

Contents: Steering column case (top), Steering column case (bottom), Steering column, Control stalk, Instrument mount, Instruments Instrument glasses, Minor instruments, Minor instrument glasses, Heater control, Dash pan, Mixture control, Microswitch and lead, Screws

You will first need the dashboard provided with Issue 63, plus the parts for the main instruments, and microswitch with its lead.Use a craft knife to ease off the backing paper from the instruments, then peel it away.Take the instrument mount and lining up the central holes, smooth the instrument sticker into place.Take the microswitch, and very carefully bend the lead at right angles to the body of the switch.Fit the body of the switch into the square recess near the end of the dash, with the lead at the bottom, and the button protruding through the round hole in the dash.Line up the instrument glasses with the holes in the dashboard, and fit the central hole over the lug, pressing the glasses in until they are flush with the bezels moulded into the dashboard.Taking the instrument assembly , line it up over the end of the dashboard and fit it over the instrument glasses, securing it in place with two JP06 screws in the main mounting holes and a single JP04 screw to secure the microswitch.Make sure that you can operate the switch button.

Peel the backing off the minor instruments, as you did with the main instruments, carefully lay the adhesive strip in the recess in the dashboard and smooth it down. Press the minor instrument glasses strip into place, with the smooth side facing the dashboard.Taking the central dash panel,note the two lugs on the back of the panel, which fit into matching holes in the dashboard, hold the panel in place while you turn the dashboard over and secure it with screws. Take the mixture control, which has a large and small pin on the back and a single lever on the front, pressing the pins into the matching holes to the right of the central dash panel ensuring a flush fit. Repeat this with the heater controls, which have a similar arrangement of locating pins to the mixture control, using matching holes to the left of the central dash panel.

Now you will need the steering column parts, together with the wheel itself, which you assembled in Stage 3.Plug the smaller end of the steering column into the steering wheel, matching the D-shaped socket and gently tap the steering column fully home.Lay the steering column into the upper half of its case,fitting the control stalk over the pivot pin in the case.Fit the bottom half of the case over the assembly, and secure it together with screws in the two holes nearest the steering wheel. Turning the case over, put two more screws in the holes shown and then check that the wheel turns freely.Fit the steering column casing over the four lugs on the dashboard securing it in place with four screws.


This issue is now complete. Store the assembly and any unused parts in an issue labelled bag.
