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

[Rakthi]

Now bolting the sides to the front

The two M3 Allen bolts go through from the inside to the nut on the outside.
The whole thing is neatly designed. However ...



The door has a rather big gap ... Reason is why I have the red circle above. The casting is too rough at the hinges. Will need to be filed down. Apparently this is because this is one of the first batch of Arocs made. The later ones do not have this problem.



The other side same problem



Didn't yet sort it out. Just bolted it up as it was. Will sort it out tomorrow.

Both sides installed





And a quick fit on the frame to get an idea. (Cab leans too far back because it's not properly supported yet)



So I guess tomorrow I will be filing away at the door frames
