Step 9

Take a minute to prepare all your carbon components
for assembly. With a file or sand paper knock off any
sharp edges along the perimeter or the carbon parts.

Special note:
Carbon fiber dust is really bad for you. Always
wear a mask and eye protection when sanding or
filing carbon fiber.

Step 10

Note that the Track Width Adjuster plates have the
large holes chamfered on one side. This is to
provide clearance for the heads of the 8-32 screws
that hold the front suspension to the lower chassis.
Make sure these face down towards the chassis in
all assembly steps.

Thread 2 ¼” 4-40 button head screws into the
track adjuster plate as shown. Make them stick
out the bottom ~1/16” (1.5mm). These screws will
key into holes in the lower chassis to provide
alignment at different width settings.

Step 11

Pass a 4-40 x 3/8” flat head screw through the
bottom of the chassis and track adjuster plate.
Secure it with an alloy lock nut.

Locate four 8-32 x 5/8” screws and 4 thick nylon
lower suspension arm risers.

Pass a screw through the chassis, a track adjuster
plate and slide a thick nylon riser over the screw.
Start threading the screw into the lower suspension
arm but do not tighten it. Pass another screw
through the chassis and adjuster plate and slide a
thick nylon riser over that screw. Start threading
the screw into the other hole on the lower
suspension arm. Tighten both screws. Repeat on
the other side.

Special Note:
You will have to add or subtract spacers in order to
achieve your desired ride height. BMI Racing
makes alloy spacers you can get a variety of sizes
from
