Hi Lance
Here is the to method I use:
The quiet one (when you havn't drink too much coffee):-bent the upper part and insert it in the bent handle (that's not so tricky). Now the most difficult is to insert the lower part whitout removing the upper one. With a little patience it works. You can secure the assembly with cyano.
-Easier method using Tamiya tape:
You assemble the on the SIDE, Put the handle ( not bent) on the adhesive tape , then put the bent upper and lower part into the holes (on the side (the surface contact with the adhesive is not important but that's enough to secure the assembly before the last step). Then whith an X-acto blade, bend the handle securing the portion that will remain on the tape with another X-acto blade. You bend the handle until the axles are in position.
Hope this helps
