Well, turns out not odd at all ... those screws are for a different model truck.
===========================
Now bolting on the last parts to the frame to get into "paint ready" mode.
These are the parts from the locking/swivel mechanism that will hold the cabin to the frame. I will picture them in the order they went on. The locations on the frame is self evident due to the placing of the holes. Just very confusing as all parts have different sizes of bolts.
Here M2x4
Here M2x5
M2x6 and M2x10
The longer screw will hold a spring of the swivel mechanism of the cabin.
This part will hold the front bumper. M2x8
One side done, other is mirror image.
The last part is the cross connector. (M2x6 on the left and M2x5 on the right)
The bolts on this picture are M2x8 to give you an idea of the detail of the parts. The little hook will hold the spring of the locking mechanism
All in all not too difficult to assemble, but gave me some eyestrain figuring out what goes where. Too much information in the technical drawings.
Now we wait for decent weather so I can paint, or I just skip the painting all together, too worried I mess it up. Will see. Meanwhile I look and see what other things can be done.
Cheers!
