Cockpit Aluminum - Factory Five Racing Mk3 Roadster Assembly Manual

7. If you plan to race frequently, use some small springs and attach them to the brake pedal and pedal
box to prevent the pedal from moving during severe acceleration.

ATTENTION: Do one panel at a time. Be careful of the sharp aluminum edges, they can cut you. If you
have not marked and drilled the panels for rivets, as explained in the uncrating and disassembly
of the kit, do so at this time.
TOOLS: Drill, ⅛" drill bit, rivet tool, Silicone, #8 self tapping screws, #8 hex nut driver, ruler, marker,
Acetone or carburetor cleaner, rags.
PARTS: Cockpit aluminum (FFR# 10890), secondary body fasteners (FFR# 10788).

application or your personal preference. The holes that can be covered are:
• The transmission wiring harness hole in the driver side of the transmission tunnel.
• The dash harness hole in the front of the driver footbox.
• The engine harness hole in the passenger side firewall extension.
• The Passenger side "F" panel hole.
• The transmission top cover shifter hole.
• The speedometer cable hole in the driver footbox top inside panel.
