EBBRO 1982 Lotus

[ash74]

Hello All

I need some guidance. I am building the EBBRO 1982 Belgian GP Lotus. I am stuck at step 1, the engine build. It asks you to cut something around parts, F4,5, 14 & 15. I am just not clear what? I am thinking it's shortening parts F14,15. But it could be a trick of perception/perspective on the instructions. Does anyone know what exactly needs to be cut? Thanks

I THINK it means shave off the two bolt heads/rivets/nubbins at the inner edges of the injector baseplates (F4, F5) between the third and fourth intakes so that part B40 can be glued flush at the bottom of the supports. The “wiring of hi tension cord” diagram to the left shows how B40 fits from above (grey shaded piece with dotted outline).

If you have a smartphone and download the Google Translate app and Japanese language pack, you can point a camera at the instructions and see all the text in Japanese translated magically into English. There’s often more in the original text than is translated in the instructions.

best,

M.
