Place your chassis assembly upside down on your work surface.

Insert the post of one of the suspension mounts into the hole in the chassis. The closed end of the mount should be facing inwards. Holding the mount in place, tighten a 2.3x4mm screw into the hole on the underside of the chassis.

Fit the second suspension mount into place on the other side of the chassis and secure with a 2.3x4mm screw.

Align the post on the top side of the steering box with the hole in the recessed area of the chassis just behind the suspension mount. Lower the steering box in the recess and fix it in place with a 2.3x4mm screw. Make sure the rod is facing inwards.

Retrieve your front wheel and track rod assembly from the previous issue and position it with the post of the central track rod facing up. Take the steering cylinder and place the post at the end of it onto the post on the central track rod. Now secure the steering cylinder to the steering bar with a 2.3x3mm screw. Tighten it so that the cylinder is held but can still move freely.

Issue complete, carefully store any remaining parts in a labelled bag.
