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

[Rakthi]

Found some time to add some small parts to the frame, namely the bits that hold / lock the driver's cabin in place.

Here the parts - all in stainless:
The 2 big hooks at the bottom are for the front.



First one to go in. This part



Goes here on the right side.



Loctite applied to the nut. This part needs to stay moveable.



The second part



Goest on here on the left side



Here too loctite on the nut so the handle stays moveable.



Next up the bar that connects these 2 parts. (spacer nuts already in place)



Loctite here too.



Finally the spring to keep it in locking position.



Now the front.

Hook goes here



Here too loctite on the nut/bolt that holds it attached to the frame. Tightened so the handle can still move forwards and back.



The spring is kept in place by the thread on the bolts.





That's it for now. Might be another couple of days before the next update.
