Nice collection there, I also had the same issue with one of the wheel inner hubs coming off but a bit of superglue seems to have solved that. I did enjoy building this but doing this after the Routemaster I would of preferred a few more parts to the kits. To much emphasis on the large changeable number plate and only working rear brake lights. Maybe extra lighting or sound effects would of needed a bigger battery pack.

I had difficulty connecting this lead, I ended up using a pair of small angled tweezers and pushing it in under the bumper. Hope this helps.

This is stage 96/98 step 22/19, both left and right headlight minigun mechanism. The instructions state that a DS02 screw should be used, I found this was to big and was cutting a thread in the plastic cap and did not bite into the metal. Using the smaller DS03 is a better fit and went straight into the metal housing. I also put some grease on the headlight spring mechanism to try and make it a bit easier to push up and down when mount to the body.

Shame it's just the brake lights that work considering they went to the trouble of making a changing number plate. Would of liked working indicators. May be a limitation of how many functions on the remote.

Just a quick tip when inserting the LED in the lens. I found it easier to put the LED into the lens first, then insert the lens into the cluster. Make sure you get the flatter side of the wires in line with the two pins to bend it over. It looks like only the brake lights are working.

Steering wheel position clarification
Richard Gregory replied to Richard Gregory's topic in DB5 - No Time To Die
I didn't understand the response and was waiting for Wayne to make a video on stage 7, but with the delay in sending out pack 7 it is a long wait. It also seems that now that pack 7 is going out everyone else is catching up. I was very lucky in that I got pack 7 when I did. Still not convinced on the correct position but might just build it and see where it ends up. -
Steering wheel position clarification
Richard Gregory replied to Richard Gregory's topic in DB5 - No Time To Die
Had another look at this while I wait for Wayne to do a video of the construction stage. Shouldn't the middle spoke of the steering be in the lower position so you can see the instruments? -

Steering wheel position clarification
Richard Gregory replied to Richard Gregory's topic in DB5 - No Time To Die
I have had a reply from Agora, which I have pasted below. Hope this helps. Our experts have given us the following information. Once you fit the steering column and then the steering column cover, they suggest you apply the steering wheel badge. This will then help you identify what is the top spoke, and you can then align the flat end with the column. I hope this helps. Thank you, Customer Service Team -
I don't think the ejector seat is a problem, it's more on where you put your fingers when pushing it down. No reply on the steering wheel yet, or if anyone else has the flat sides ending up in the wrong position. If there isn't a response in a couple of days will try the contact us page. Not sure where I posted about the steering wheel as it doesn't come up on the James Bond DB5 Official Build page, but it has been viewed by a lot of people.

Received mine last week and I'm in Australia. It's hit and miss how quickly they send them out after payment has been taken, anything between one to two weeks.
-
I've noticed that when pushing the ejector seat onto the release mechanism I pushed the seat cushion forward exposing the plastic underneath. This is difficult to return to the correct position with the back of the seat in place, so I have run small bead of super glue along the sides and back to keep it in place. The other option is to push the sides of the seat down to insert it onto the release mechanism.
-
The instructions state that the flat side should line up with one of the spokes on the steering for correct center positioning. As you can see from my photo it is on the opposite side, this is the same which ever way you put the rod in. Just need clarification which one is correct.
-
I also broke the gear stick but managed to drill a small hole and glue it back in, making sure the numbers were the correct way round. Agree this can be attached at a latter time. I am also missing a spoke for the wheel and awaiting a replacement. Interesting that you always get spare screws but nothing else.
-
I did try pushing it down and thinking the screw might pull it down, being plastic I didn't want to over tighten in case the screw just pulls out the plastic. It looks like it is rubbing on the side.

After fitting the hand brake I noticed it's not sitting flush with the floor. Is this how it should be or is it supposed to be flush with the floor.
