Take the "T" frame and lay it down on a flat surface.
You will see four holes in the hitch channel, insert the
two M8 x 20 mm Pan Head Bolts through the bottom

Round Combination bolt must be flush with the hitch
channel. Take one of the "L" brackets and place it over
the two bolts in the hitch channel. Now secure each
bolt with a M8 flat washer and M8 Nylon locknut.
On the axle of the "T" frame there are four predrilled
holes, place one of the "L" brackets over one side of
the predrilled holes. Insert two of the M8 x 65 mm
Pan Head Bolts through the holes of the bracket and
axle. Now secure each bolt with a M8 flat washers and
M8 Nylon Locknuts. Repeat procedure for the other
side of the axle, when completed your frame should
now look like Figure #7.

Figure #8.
With a 10 mm drill bit, drill each bracket hole through the
plastic body. To attach the frame and body reach inside
the body and insert the six M10 x 25 mm Carriage bolts
through the newly drilled holes.
On the outside of the body/bracket place a M10 washer on
