Hi I'm new to the forum and I wondered whether anyone else has had my problem with issue 4. I have put the metal disc in place and rotated the bayonet fitting until it can go no further (against the plastic stops). As with other people it was quite tight to get the last bit of turn on it. However The disc wobbles. It's as though the disc diameter is slightly too small for the hole so although it's tight on rotation it can be moved up and down a little within the hole. I've tried putting the bayonet fitting in at half a turn different and rotated it against the stops but it does the same thing. I have a friend who is also doing the build and his connection is tight. Thanks for your thoughts on this! Happy modelling

Mine wobbles a bit too; it's no biggie. I am planning on gluing it in place at a later stage, if it not required to move. Too early to tell how it will fit until the rest of the leg is in place.

Some people seem to hqve left it fully turned with a wobble and others have left it slightly short of full rotation. I've backed mine off a bit as it's tight then (and glue and me don't see eye to eye!). Happy modelling

This part should not be glued as it is designed to be removable to access the leg pivot in the future.

There's no point installing that part at this stage of the build .

I would advise this part is best fitted after the main legs are fixed to the body as it will need to be removed anyway to fix the legs in place. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Yes it does wobble a bit. It causes no ill effects though. If it worries you on completion try a small piece of blu tac or something similar. Do not glue it. The leg screws will need tightening sooner rather than later.

Despite what instructions say, do not install this piece at this time. It must be removed before you can attach the legs. I'm waiting for the tightening tool to arrive so I can remove the one I installed as mine is too tight to turn by hand after the leg is assembled.
