Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

[Rakthi]

The leaf spring assembly for both front axles. The 2 parts in the red box replace the regular spacers, one on the left inside of the first axle and one on the right inside of the second axle



The first axle left side, parts laid in order of assembly. I wiggled them out using the tweezers.



The points where they attached to the frame are sharp. I elected to sand them off to smoothen them.



All the parts for this assembly unit sorted out. (The 2 30mm long screws and the black block at the bottom come from the axle package. Not included with the suspension assembly)



Assembled

This took way longer than I thought it would. As before, fit and finish is excellent.

Cheers,
