Stage 42
Stage 42 Contents: Seat Cover, Passenger Grab Strap and Manufacturer’s Badge.
Take the seat cover and the sprung frame you completed in the previous stage and fit the cover over the frame.
Now take the two sprues of rivets provided in stages 40 and 41. Note that they are different lengths, there is a total of four long rivets, 10 short rivets and four anchors for the passenger grab strap plus some spares. Refer to step 5 of the instructions which shows where each type is to be used.
Carefully separate all the rivets from the sprues and remove the small pieces of surplus plastic between them. Sort out the ones you need to use for this build stage, two anchors, eight short rivets and four long ones.
Note the split legs of each rivet that hold the rivet in position. Starting at the nose of the seat, take a long rivet and fit it through the hole in the seat cover and then through the frame. Bend the legs outwards inside the seat to fix the rivet in place. Fit another long rivet to the opposite side of the seat nose. Following the pattern shown in step 5 of the instructions, fit two short rivets to either side of the seat.
Next take two of the strap anchors and fit them to the middle pair of holes, fitting in the same way but leave the ring on the head standing out from the seat. Then fit and two short rivets on either side of the seat followed by one long rivet either side.
Now take the manufacturer’s badge, which is a waterslide transfer. Briefly soak the transfer in lukewarm water until the badge begins to separate from the backing paper, then quickly position it on the middle of the end of the seat cover. Smooth the transfer into place and blot it dry with a tissue, do not disturb it until it dries completely.
Take the passenger grab strap and carefully insert the split hooks on the ends of the strap through the rings of both anchors.
This stage is now complete.

Stage 43 Contents: Rear Body Front Panel, Door Flap, Fixing Screws, Bag Hook,Hinge Retaining Plate, Flap Return Spring, Right Hand Hinge Pin and Left Hand Hinge Pin.
Fit the bag hook into the recess at the top of the rear body front panel, noting which way up it goes. Take the two silver fixing screws and use them to secure the base of the bag hook to the front panel.
Take the door flap and the two hinge pins. Both pins have one long arm that fits into the channel at the bottom of the door but the short ends are different shapes. Note which one fits on the left and which fits on the right by referring to step 12 of the instructions.Slide the left hand hinge pin into the channel, leaving the end free, then fit the right hand pin in the same way. Take the return spring and spring the two ends apart. Hook the two ends of the spring into the long slots in the bracket at the back of the door flap, ensuring the spring is orientated correctly.
Now align the whole assembly with the opening in the body panel. Flip the spring up out of the way, then bring the door flap towards the opening, fitting the end of the left hand hinge pin into its corresponding hole in the door panel, then hook the end of the hinge pin into the shaped channel on the back of the body panel. Now bring the door flap towards the opening, fitting the end of the right hand hinge pin through the hole in the body panel. Turn the end of the right hand hinge pin to point downwards and flip the spring down between the two mounting posts in the middle. The door flap will now pivot on the hinge pins but take care that they don’t fall out before you fit the retaining plate.
Take the retaining plate and fit the two holes over the locating pins on the body panel, noting which way up it goes. The grooves at the top are designed to trap the end of the spring which goes behind the plate. Press the plate firmly into place, then take the two black fixing screws supplied and fit them through the plate into the mounting posts, tighten the screws fully. The return spring should now automatically close the flap after you open it.

Stage 48 Contents: Rectifier Cover, Tail Light Bulb Holder, Seat Hinge Mounting Plate, Rear Light Seal, Tail LightLens, Rectifier Base, Tail Light LED & Wiring, Box Spanner Adaptor, Fixing Bolts & Washers, Fixing Screws and Flanged Screws.
Take the base of the rectifier and fit it on the side of the body shell. The two holes in the rectifier base are different sizes, so make sure it fits the correct way up, then secure in place using two flanged screws.
Now take the rectifier cover, noting the position of the notch in the side. With the cover the right way round, press the mounting posts inside the cover into the holes in the base until the cover fits flush.
Next take the tail light seal and fit it into the recess at the rear of the body shell. The sides are slightlangled, so the wider part needs to go at the top. Fit the tail light bulb holder into the seal, again making sure it goes the right way up, then take two fixing screws and use them to screw the bulb holder to the lugs on the body shell.
Take the light and its wiring, noting the hole in the light circuit board goes to the bottom. Fit the wiring through the rectangular hole in the middle of the bulb holder and fit the circuit board back against the bulb holder. Drive a fixing screw through the hole in the circuit board to fix the bulb holder in place.
Now take the tail light lens and press it into the seal so it locks into place.
Turn the assembly over and take the tail light wire and lead it through the hole in the back of the tank. Then turn the assembly over again and take the plug marked ‘K’ over to the motherboard. Locate the socket marked ‘K’ on the motherboard and fit the plug into place.
Take the seat hinge mounting plate, box spanner adaptor, fixing bolts and washers supplied with this stage, plus the T bar spanner, then fit the adaptor to the box spanner. Fit the seat hinge mounting plate over the two lugs behind the opening in the body shell, then fit a washer to one of the fixing bolts and insert it into the box spanner adaptor. Use the bolt to secure the seat hinge mounting plate, then fit the second bolt to the other side. Tighten both bolts fully.

Note the three mounting pins on the back of the terminal board and the wire projecting from the other side, these fit into the indicated holes in the body shell, as shown in steps 4-6 of the instructions. Line up the mounting pins and press the terminal board into place.
Now take the fuel tap lever and insert it through the front of the rear body, just above the door flap. In order to fit it all the way in, you need to plug the end of the operating rod into the fuel tap fitted to the tank.
Take the number plate holder and align it with the three mounting holes on the body shell. Fix in position with three of the black fixing screws. With the plate in place, take the number plate and fit it on top, lining up the four holes in the corners. Take the four silver fixing screws and use them to fix the number plate in position.
Turn the assembly over and take the two cable clamps plus four fixing screws.
The clamps are used to secure the wiring from the tail light. The first one fits onto the two posts inside the body shell, just behind the tail light. As access is limited, it is easier to fit two screws to the clamp first then place in position and tighten the screws. Fit the second clamp in a similar way, securing the wiring to the two lugs next to the fuel tank.
