Fiat Pack 2

Firstly, our apologies again for such a monumentally big delay in progressing this build. Some things are out of our hands. Here we finally are with Pack 2.

This Fiat 126P pack has FIVE stages over five individual heat-sealed sleeves.


Stage 6: The transmission
Your parts:
6A. Sump
6B. Transmission housing lower
6C. Transmission housing right
6D. Transmission housing left
DP. Screws 1.7 x 5mm, 2 + 1 spare piece
GM. Screws 1.7 x 4mm, 5 + 3 spare pieces
AM. M screws 1.7 x 3mm, 4 + 2 spare pieces

You’ll find all stages in this inside these clear sleeves. Some sleeves still have the bubble pack inside, securing all parts, such as this one.






Take the Sump (6A) and the Transmission Housing Lower (6B) and sit them together. Use two DP screws to securely fasten them. Don’t over-tighten as these parts are plastic.








Now take both the Transmission Housing Right (6C) and the Transmission Housing Left (6D) and push the parts together. Use two GM screws to fasten together. These parts are metal and like many metal parts, you may find it useful to first add the screw to cut the thread before screwing the parts together.






We can now fit the transmission unit that you just built, to the engine block from the previous pack. Orient the parts as thus;




Use two GM screws to secure the units from the front, and one GM screw to fasten from the rear.






Recover the sump unit you made at the beginning of this pack and sit in place as shown here. Now use four AM screws to fasten in place.

Take the Fan Pipe Left (7D) and the Fan Pipe Right (7E) and fasten them together using two CP screws.






Now take the completed fan pipe and locate into the Fan Housing Left (7A) as shown, and then use one AP screw to fasten them together.






Take the Fan Housing Right (7B) and sit on the opposite side of 7A. Now use three AP screws to secure them together.

The High Tension Cable Fairlead 2 (8C) is now fitted to the Valve Cover (8H) using a single AP screw.




We can now fit the Oil Filler Cap (8G) to the Valve Cover (8H). Push the cap into the hole as shown and use a single EP screw to secure them from inside the valve cover.

Use a single AM screw to fasten the High Tension Cable Fairlead 1 (8B) to the engine block in the position shown.

Thread the two High Tension Cables (8D) through the Protective Sleeve (8E) and slide the assembly through the High Tension Cable Fairlead 2, using tweezers to locate the cables to the top of the spark plugs.

Now fit the Engine Mount Bracket (9A) into position as shown, using two CP screws. Note that this part looks slightly different to the CAD-rendered image in the PDF instruction sheet.

Take the Generator (10F) and sit the Belt Drive Wheel (10C) into position.




Now take the Pulley Flange (10B) and sit over the top of part 10C. Note the orientation of the Pulley Flange disc.




Use one DP screw to fasten both discs to the generator.




Fasten the generator unit to the rear of the fan housing using two AP screws.




Sit the Fan Drive Wheel 3 (10E) onto the back of the engine.




Take the Fan Drive Wheel 2 (10D) and push it into position over the previous drive wheel.




Using another DP screw, secure the fan drive wheels to the engine.




Lastly, take the Belt (10A) and sit in the wheel recesses, between both sets of wheels. This is slightly elastic, but make sure you also don’t twist the belt. It should lay flat between the wheels.







That’s it! Pack 3 will be online before too long.
