Administrator Mark, The Master Modeller Posted October 24, 2023 Administrator Share Posted October 24, 2023 Stage 64 gives us the instrument panel and switches. First, we need to remove the 3 switches and instrument LED. Pull on the plastic sockets. Don't pull the wires as you may well pull the wires out of the sockets. Carefully flatten out the pins on the switches. The wires don't need flattening out so much as they are bent over again. Insert the switches into the button housing. Note the order of the wire colours. Bend over the pins to lock the switches in place. A small flat bladed screwdriver is ideal for this., Bend the wires over as shown. Screw the instrument panel, dials and reflector panel with 2 screws. It looks like this from the back, Push the LED in place. Fit the instrument panel to the dashboard. It's a push fit. Note how the LED wires are bent over. Fit the instrument panel cover and secure it with a couple of screws. Push the three black switches into to holes in the dashboard from behind. Don't glue them as they need to be loose to operate the pushbutton switches. Screws the switch assembly to the dashboard and secure with a couple of screws. The buttons look like this from the front. Make sure all three click the switches when pressed. Push the indicator light in place. Push the cream coloured switches in place. Push the two bolt heads and the key switch into the switch panel. Screw this to the dashboard. It looks like this from the front. Lead the switch and LED wires out to the side. The instructions say to twist them together, but I decided to hold them together with a spare strip of black tape. They are likely to be too short if you knot them together. This completes the stage and the Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
