250 GTO Pack 5 - Stage 33. Front right wheel 3.

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Stage 33 gives us the last set of parts to complete the wheel, just leaving the tyre to fit in the next stage.

We have three rows of spokes to fit this time.  The first row is type A spokes fitted in the remaining holes in the hub.  I've highlighted the first spoke in red again.

The completed row looks like this.

Push the last part of the hub on the wheel.  I ran a 0.5mm drill through the holes to clear any burs again.  You may need to twist this hub a little to get an even spoke pattern as you did with the larger hub.

The instructions don't say so, but I recommend fitting the hub washer now, because it's difficult getting it past the ends of the spokes.

The first row of spokes are fitted in the lower row of holes.

Heres a top down view.

The completed row looks like this.

The final row of spokes are fitted in the top row of holes in the hub.

Here's the top down view.

The completed row looks like this.  If necessary, twist the hub slightly to get an even spoke pattern. 

Now treat the wheel very carefully as you are going to be so annoyed if you knock it and all the spokes jump out!

Screw the sealing ring to the outer rim.

Note that there are arrows to help you align the two halves of the rim correctly.

Very carefully, place the outer rim over the inner rim and tighten the screws.  It's worth checking the spokes and reposition any that have moved before You fully tighten the screws.

The second wheel looks twice as impressive!  Give yourself another pat on the back!

This completes the stage.
