It looks to me like the leather on the seat back gets covered by the plastic of the support. I presume this is correct, but must admit, I hoped that the back of the seat would be leather showing. (Admittedly, I don't know what the real car was like, nor do I know if there is a further part to come that will cover this.)

Can anyone please enlighten me?

Take the assembly from stage 2 and fit it over the lower half of the manifold assembly. Press the 2 parts together and secure with 2 screws in the plenum chamber (picture 2)

Next take the 3 suction chambers from issue 10 and fit them into the matching holes on the top of the carburettors. Secure each with a screw (picture 3)

next take the petrol feed pipe and align the 3 holes with the 3 pegs in the assembly (picture 4)

next take the air balance pipe and ensuring the alignment is correct place it in the 3 holes on top of the manifold. secure from beneath with 3 screws (picture 5)

Finally take the air cleaner and making sure the label on it faces out away from the rest of the assembly push it firmly onto the 2 pegs in the plenum chamber (picture 6)
