Building the left control arm

 

To start, you’ll need the wheel you assembled in stage 4. You’ll be attaching the brake drum to the wheel assembly.

This stage goes pretty quickly, and is simple stuff, which is nice after all the plug wires!

After the drum is attached with 2 DM screws, we turn our attention to the backing plate, with its two vents. The two vent panels are a press fit in, and will only fit one way, so no worries about getting the wrong part placed. After the vents have been placed, attach the brake line using a dab of CA on the pin to hold the hose firmly in place.

Next, we assemble the control arms. Start by matching up the R and L parts. You’ll also need 4 IM type screws. Make sure the screws are lubricated, as they are a tight fit! After the first (L) control arm is assembled, you’ll attach the suspension upright to the control arm with a JM screw. (steps 11-14) Then, you’ll add the backing plate to the assembly, using 2 DM screws. You’ll follow this step by adding the whole she-bang to the wheel, using a type CM screw.

Finally, you’ll assemble the right-hand control arm parts. (steps 21-22)
