Shelby Cobra Pack 5 - Stage 32


Recommended Posts

I love the suspension on model cars - giving them the 'push' test to see what the suspension is like!

The shock absorber piston is held in place with a small pin. The end of the pin with the ridges is the final end to be inserted. I used pliers to then force the pin in fully.

Similarly, I used the pliers to push the second pin in place when attaching to the suspension assembly.

You can see the pin in place here:

I then added the spring onto the piston and fixed it all together:

I secured the wheel hub in place with pin, again fully fitting it with pliers:

Stage complete!
