Can you post some pics of where parts won't go or fit, and maybe give some details about what's wrong?
Mine went together easily if I remember.

Attached photos on original post!
It seem like there is something stopping the correct alignment of the holes,
I followed the instructions in the issues to the letter it might be me doing something wrong I just can’t figure it out it has to be something so simple
Regards
Paul

I must have seen your post as you were uploading. There were no pics when I saw it.
It would be a bit easier to get more replies if you can resize your pics down to under 140kb each. That way, they don't have to be downloaded, which I know by experience, many members won't bother to do...
I'll have a look and see if I can spot something.

I've looked at your pics.
It seems as if something is preventing the engine and frame going back far enough to meet the bulkhead.
When you try, can you see anything that is 'in the way', or stopping you getting the parts together?
Also, is the steering column going through the side frames properly?
If not, it will foul the bulkhead and prevent the frame going all the way back.
Another small but important point:
The throttle linkage on the manifold needs to go through the little hole on the bulkhead.
If it doesn't, the frames wont reach...
Fingers crossed.

Think the best idea is take the frame apart and have another go! Thanks for the advice will keep updated

Paul Looking at the pics you posted back in June you appeared to have completed this stage. Did you take it apart again and modify anything? Alec Happy modelling

Hi, Alec, this is the first time posting only started this week, as got burnt before on a previous build of 007 DB5 left with an incomplete car!!
This is the first time assembly! I can see this being taken apart and start from scratch again of the engine frame assembly,
Just looked at the youtube video build, at first the steering column is not going through the frame, then in the next shot, it's through the frame!! according to the issue, it goes through the frame I know I'm right!!

Hi Paul, when you received the bulkhead in issue 34 did you test fit it? If so did it fit okay at that point?
