Hi Alex
Please send me a hi resolution scan of the instruction. I want to see if the fix is what I did when the kit first came out.
Here is my solution.
When I assembled my I did not know in what position I wanted the M59 in so when I was assembling the carriage and looking at the instruction I realized that if you glue b3 to b31 and drill a 1/16 hole just below b3 into b31 and then place b31 in position at b42 and continue to drill the hole into b42 about 1/8 inch in, this is to both sides and then remove the locating end tabs on part # B42. Now install a 1/16 dia. rod into part b31 sticking out 1/8 inch on the inside and glued to part b31, when dry cut flush on face of b31. Assemble b42 to b31 with no glue, when all assembly is finished you end up with movable suspension.
Cheers
Ralph |
