50 olds kit question.

[Mrdarkmonkey96]

Ive been slowly doing this kit for my grandfather, as a replica of his 1:1 he sold to pay for his wedding. He denies it, but every one of his buddies says the car would almost break into tens in the quarter when he was done with it.

Anyways, im unsure of how this part, number 87, actually goes on the model.

If any one could provide a picture I would appreciate it

I'm building this kit right now, and I have to be honest with you - I usually don't even bother with this part (steering gear box) because of its usually horrible attachment to the frame. However, this one isn't that bad and you have a clue as to how to install it by installing part 31 temporarily - the stubby control arm on the left side of part 31 is supposed to attach to the upright control arm of the steering gear box - the upright control arm is the shorter of the 2 arms - the longer one simply points up at the steering wheel. So, knowing this, you have to install it in the frame where you see that odd shaped cutout in the drawing right behind the spring. Just try it without glue - get it in the recess so that the upright is touching the control arm of part 31. Once you can see how it should be installed, go ahead and glue it in place, and then make sure you glue the upright arm to part 31 control arm (they should be touching at this point).

part # 87 is the steering gearbox which attaches to the linkage & steering column
