Default Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Drilled the 2 mm holes in the cross brace for the suspension.





Did a trial install to determine how the rear fender and rear lights are going to fit.

The center support is another one of those nicely detailed bits that will sadly be mostly hidden after install.





It goes here, in the center of the 2 rear axles right above the axle support



2 M2 nuts are used as spacer.





Fender will attach to the center support with 4 bolts (circled the little holes because they are hard to see)



The other supports and attachment parts



Temporarily installed



Next is the rear lights.



This is the way the support is to go. But not enough room. The clamps holding the fender to the support are in the way.



Could swap left and right side, that seems to work, but then the rear lights stick out behind the frame and will be easily damaged.



Other solution would be to attach lights directly to the fender. Ideally they should go higher and above the fold.



That is probably the best solution. Just have to figure out how to do it.
