GE-ALCO "AS DELIVERED" TRUCK SIDEFRAMESFOR CANNONBALL SHOPS GE STEEPLECAB KIT, AS MOUNTED TO BACHMANN 44 TON DIESEL POWER TRUCKS. INSTRUCTION PAGE

THE  PHOTO AT LEFT SHOWS THE SIDEFRAME KIT. THERE ARE FOUR CAST WHITE METAL  SIDEFRAMES AND FOUR LASERCUT ACRYLIC MOUNTING BLOCKS.

LOOK CLOSELY AT THE LASER CUT MOUNTING BLOCK. NOTICE THAT IT HAS A SLIGHT "DRAFT ANGLE" AS INDICATED BY THE ANGLE OF THE  TOOTHPICK  "POINTERS"  SHOWN AT LEFT. THIS DRAFT ANGLE ALSO CORRESPONDS WITH THE DRAFT ANGLE ON THE MOUNTING PINS ON THE TRUCK FRAME, ALLOWING AN EASY "PRESS FIT" THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE GLUING. THE "WIDE" END OF THE MOUNTING BLOCK SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE PINS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SIDEFRAME WITH CA GLUE OR QUICK SETTING EPOXY.

MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE HOLES ON THE BLOCK ARE STRAIGHT WITH THE HORIZONTAL CENTERLINE OF THE SIDEFRAME CASTING SO IT IS ALIGNED PROPERLY AND DOESN'T APPEAR "TILTED" WHEN PLACED ON THE TRUCK.

PRESS THE SIDEFRAME ON THE BACHMANN TRUCK MOUNTING PINS AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO AT LOWER LEFT. PAINT, WEATHER AND YOU'RE READY TO "ROLL".
