issue 3 washer / hub cap
By: wrightpd Date: January 9, 2017, 12:38 pm

Hi
In issue 3 it says to press the washer over the hub cap,, the
washer is too small and so just is loose in the hub cap hole in
the wheel? any ideas.
Not from issue 2 that the instruction images don't actually
match the parts, i.e. the holes that are in the wing are not the
same as those represented in the images.

Hi at a guess the hub cap issue.
Needs to be loose as there will have to be some type of fixing
through the hub to the steering rack.
As for the wing, you are correct about the pictures not matching
up. Could be the the fact that only the holes needed to be shown
in that issue. The additional holes are for the external time
circuit.
But I will find out :)

My hub cap barely stays in place, turn the wheel over and the
hub and washer fall out? sure will be able to glue once built
but doesn't do what the instructions say. :-\

Hi all
Here is the official response from Eaglemoss.
"So I am glad you raised the below, as the already released
French copies had the same feedback
Here is our response,
In issue 1
There is an additional screw shown in the instructions in Step 3
of the lights assembly. This is unnecessary at this stage. The
second light will be delivered in issue 2.
In Issue 2
There have been some subtle changes in the design of the wing
that mean that the arrangement of the holes is slightly
different. This has happened because the factory is constantly
refining the design of the parts to make sure they fit together
in the best possible way. In this case the change was made after
the instructions were completed. It doesn’t affect the build in
any way and later instructions will reflect the change. "
I was I must say correct about the wheel and washer :)
Hopefully this will clarify things.
This thread is now complete/closed :)
