Hello there
has anyone had problems fitting the ankle fitting in the ankle reason I ask is I am having trouble getting the ankle fitting to lock in on the ankle part from stage 47 for the left leg the parts fit fine for the right leg, how do I get the
parts to lock in without widening the hole. thank you
Ronald

Hi Ronald If you can show some pictures of the parts you are trying to fit please so I can take a look. Have you looked at the official build diary photos for reference. I wait to here from you. Regards Mark

Ronald Maybe an obvious question but have you checked and double checked you have the correct part that is causing the problem? Tony Happy Modelling

It might be that you need to check the wheel mountain plate, that it has been fitted the correct way around. If you could also show the foot assemble that you’ve done so I can see and also show how the plate does not fit. We have had a few people a while back who fitted the parts in issue 47 the wrong way round and had the same issue as you. Hopefully an easy fix. Mark

I could do what you are asking me but that is the problem I am having which is the ankle fittings not
snapping in the ankle like it did for the right leg as shown in photos

If you can show me exactly what it is doing, or not doing, so I can see myself. It will help me understand what the problem is. I want to see if it is the same problem someone else had a while back, which was easily rectified. Regards Mark

I already did sent you two photos showing the pins on the ankle fitting not going in all the way in let me rephrase that if I can the problem will be for both ankle fitting as you can in the first set of photos the forward pin does not want to go in all the way

Hi Mark
after looking at the photos very carefully in issue 55 page 15 part 9 I
found the problem it turns out I had put the tabs that go in the ankle fitting
in the opposite part in other words I put part LPR-29 in LPR-30 by mistake and vise a versa that is why they would not fit the ankle part

I compared your pictures with the official build ones, you seem to have them the right way round. Check you have the little blue parts that fits into the silver piece, are in the right ones, it maybe they are stopping them to fit in the holes. Regards Mark
