9. Dry fit the Brake Stand to the top of the Platform. The hole for the Brake Wheel should face the
away from the end of the Platform towards the tanks and piping. It should fit into the slots. If
not, use a small file to remove material from the feet of the Brake Stand. Do not glue the
Brake Stand to the Platform yet, as it is easier to add the grab irons and brake wheel before
gluing to the Platform.
10. Repeat Step 2 through 9 for the second Platform End.
11. Carefully remove the Grab Irons and Brake Wheels from Bag E.
12. Test fit the Long Grab Irons on the Platform Sides and Medium Grab Irons on the Ends of the
Platforms. Bend to fit if necessary.
13. Apply CA to the ends of the Grab Irons and insert into the appropriate locations on both
Platforms.
14. Thread the Long Pull Rod through the brackets as shown to where the end just reaches the
bracket on the opposite side.
15. Apply CA to the Rod and bracket
joint and push the Rod in slightly.
16. With needle nose pliers, grab the
bent end of the Short Rod and
apply a small amount to the
straight end. Then insert into the
bracket on the opposite side of the
Long Rod. Hold the Short Rod in
position for 6-8 seconds then
release.
17. Remove the flashing from the back of the Brake Wheels. Test fit the Short Grab Irons and Brake
Wheel on both Brake Stands. Bend to fit if necessary.
18. Apply CA to the back of the Grab Irons and Brake wheel and insert on the Brake Stand for
each Platform.
19. Apply CA to the bottoms of the Brake Stands and insert into the slots on the Platforms.
20. We recommend priming the End Platforms before painting.
21. After the primer is dry, airbrush the same color red as the Center Body.
