Issue 81

Picture 1 shows the parts for this issue.

Fitting the Detect-A-Scope Screen

Begin by slotting the detect-a-scope screen (81C) into the bezel (81B), picture 2. Fit the assembly to the console (81A) and secure it using 2 x KP screws, pictures 3 and 4. Fit the LED housing (81D) as shown in picture 5, using an AP screw.

Warning: This next part is very fiddly. I would recommend using your fingers only (not tweezers) for the placement of the knobs around the console. They are quite hard to push in. If you have the same problem, take some of the excess paint off the pins, this will help. I also used some glue on the inside of the console once the knobs had been fitted to hold them in place.

Follow the illustration in picture 6 to insert the knobs in their respective positions.

Before attaching the scopes LED, you must first detach it from the wiring loom on the car. The LED to use is marked “M” as shown in picture 7. Now place the LED to the underside of the console pushing into the hole in the LED housing, picture 8. Note: I also used a little glue to hold it in place. Fit the completed console onto the upper dashboard and secure it in place using 2 x AP screws, pictures 9 and 10.

Installing the Interior Floor.
The next step is to attach the interior floor to the car. Before you start, I would recommend aligning all the cables, if you’ve not already done so, to make sure they are all in their right positions as the interior floor will cover the circuit board.

Place the interior floor onto the car as shown in picture 11. Holding it in place turn the whole car assembly over and secure the interior floor with 4 x EP screws in the holes as shown in picture 12.

Picture 13 shows the complete assembly for this issue.

Issue 82

Picture 1 shows the parts for this issue.

Assembling the Left and Right Switch Boxes

Begin by pushing the four switches (82C) into the left switch box (82A), followed by one of the red button switches, (82D), picture 2. Note: The switches can be a very tight fit. I widened the holes, only very slightly with a round mini file and then applied a little glue to the back to hold the switches in place.

Push the black button (82F) into the centre of the black base (82E), picture 3. Push the assembly into the left switch box as shown in picture 4. Do the same with the right switch box (82B) using the four switches (82C) and the red button (82D), picture 5.

Place the left and right switch boxes into the console securing them both using AP screws, picture 6. Picture 7 shows both switch boxes in place.

Unplug the instrument light LED “K” from the wiring loom on the car and fit the LED into the dashboard as shown in picture 8.

Fit the two switches (82G) into the centre of the dashboard, picture 9.

Place the two panels in place on the dashboard, picture 10.

Secure the dashboard onto the interior cockpit using 2 x AP screws as shown in pictures 11 and 12.

Finally, reconnect the two LED cable to their respective cables on the wiring loom, picture 13.

That completes the assembly for this issue.

Issue 83

Picture 1 shows the parts for this issue.

Assembling the Steering Column

Fit the left and right Joysticks (83C and 83D) into the round apertures in the steering wheel, picture 2.

Using 2 x SM screws fit the universal joint (83I) to the bracket at the end of the steering column, picture 3. Fit the other end of the steering column into the steering wheel and secure it in place using a BM screw, pictures 4 and 5.

Push fit the instrument panel strip (83G) into the matching recess in the instrument panel (83E), picture 6. This can be quite fiddly because of its shape. Turn the assembly over and insert the strip lights (83H), pictures 7 and 8.

Picture 9 shows the instrument panel screen from the original car. The magazine only shows the CAD instruction and a solid yellow part. Use this picture as a reference guide to insert the screen into the panel. Pictures 10, 11 and 12 shows the completed steeling wheel assembly.

That completes the assembly for this issue.

Issue 84

Picture 1 shows the parts for this issue.

Assembling the Fuse Box

Connect parts (84C) to (84B) as shown in picture 2. Note: they will only fit one way. Attach the cable to the pin on part (84B) picture 3. I found it easier to apply the cable if you push a cocktail stick in the end to open the hole slightly.

That completes the assembly for this issue.

Issue 85

Picture 1 shows the parts for this issue.

Assembling the Battery and Starter Motor

Before starting with this issue, please note that I have painted some of the parts as I have with the rest of the engine bay. Feel free to do the same if you feel confident in doing so. Although it is not necessary to paint the parts, if you do, it is at your own risk.

Take the battery (85A) and the battery bracket, picture 2 and secure then using 2 x TP screws, picture 3. Push the two terminals (85D) onto the battery, picture 4. Push fit all six of the vent plugs (85C) as shown in picture 5. Now secure the assembly onto the firewall using 2 x TP screws, pictures 6 and 7.

Retrieve the fuse box assembly from the previous issue and fit it to the starter motor bracket (85E), picture 8. Slot the starter motor rear (85G) into the rear of the end of the starter motor (85H). Fit the cable onto the pin at the front of the motor, picture 9.

Attach the assembly to the firewall using 2 x TP screws, picture 10. Finally, attach the other end of the cable from the fuse box onto the pin on the battery terminal furthest away from it.

That completes the assembly for this issue.

Issue 86

Picture 1 shows the parts for this issue.

Assembling the Power Pump and Parts to the Firewall

Attach the power steering gear (86B) into the side of the power steering reservoir (86A), and the hose connector (86D) into the top of the reservoir, picture 2.

Push the 110mm hose onto the pin on the hose connector (86D) with the 40mm hose into the pin on the power steering gear (86B), picture 3. Fit the assembly to the firewall using an AP screw as shown in pictures 4 and 5.

Attach both radiators (86F) to the firewall using 2 x AP screws for each one, pictures 6 and 7.

Take the long hose (86G) and cut it into four pieces 70mm, 100mm, 75mm and 95mm. Place the hose onto the radiators as illustrated in picture 8.

Picture 9 shows the complete assembly for this issue.
