Step 8. Insert a 3/32" x 3/16" bearing (13) into the two large,
angled holes in the bottom of the front kickplate (14). Insert the other
two bearings (13) into the two outer holes in the steering brace (15).
!
Step 9. Insert a 3/32" x .930" hinge pin (16) through the hole in the
steering idler arm (8) and center the pin (16) in the idler arm (8). Place
the servo saver assembly and the steering idler arm (8) into the bear-
ings (13) in the kickplate (14) so that the installed drag link is to the
front as shown in Figure 4.
!
Step 10. Place the steering brace (15) on top of the servo saver
assembly and steering idler arm (8) ensuring that the bearings (13)
slide over the pins.
!
Step 11. Secure the steering brace (15) to the kickplate (14) using
two 4-40 x 3/8" cap-head screws (17). Note: Use included shims above/
!
below bearings to eliminate up/down movement of the steering arms.
There is a short thread-cutting screw included in the wrench
bag. This screw can be used to tap threads in the holes in the kickplate.
Pre-tapping these holes makes it easier to install the screws during
assembly.

Step 12. Install a threaded insert (18) into the top of each of
the two forward holes in the main chassis (19). The inserts should
be installed with the hex-side up as shown in Figure 5. Press the
threaded inserts (18) all the way into the holes in the chassis (19),
lining up the hex on the inserts (18) with the hex in the holes.

Step 13. Attach the front kickplate (14) to the bottom of the
main chassis (19). Align the four holes in the kickplate (14) with
the four holes in the main chassis (19). Secure the kickplate (14)
to the chassis (19) by threading two 4-40 x 3/8" cap-head screws
(17) through the forward holes and into the threaded inserts (18).
Thread two more 4-40 x 3/8" cap-head screws through the two
rear holes of the kickplate (14) and into the chassis (19).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ensure that the hex of the
threaded insert remains seated in the hex area on top of the
!
chassis.
There is a short thread-cutting screw included in the
wrench bag. This screw can be used to tap threads in the holes in
the main chassis. Pre-tapping these holes makes it easier to in-
stall the screws during assembly.
