bushes located at each end of the seat

back harness rail at the rear of the

cockpit, refer to Figure 184.

Figure 183: Rear hoop bucket bushes

1. Bucket bush location

2. Roll cage rear hoop

3. Seat back harness rail

Carefully lower the front of the cage until

the saddle brackets at the ends of the

front hoop rest over the chassis top tube

(sill). When fitted, the inner leg of the

saddle should be between the fixing boss

and the interior side panel, refer to Figure

183.

As the front of the cage is lowered into

place the rear legs will rise and locate

themselves between the mounting plates

at the rear of the boot compartment. The

bosses on the ends of the rear hoop will

drop into the bucket bushes.

The cage can now be bolted into place

using the fixings provided. Align the holes

one by one and loosely fit all the fixings as

detailed below. Do not finally tighten any

of the fixings until they are all in place.

Locate the underside of the bucket

bushes and pass the reduced head bolts

(fastener pack 30P017A Item 3) up

through the bottom of the bush and into

the threaded boss on the roll cage. No

washers should be used on these bolts as

this will restrict damper clearance. Do not

tighten at this stage.

Loosely fit bolt (2) through the interior side

panel, the roll cage and into the threaded

chassis boss. This will hold the side panel

in place whilst it is riveted back into place.

If you intend to run sill protectors then

these will need to be trimmed and re-fitted

at this stage. Run the piping between the

interior side panel and the chassis side

rivet into place through the pre drilled

holes using rivets (fastener pack ZCH 01

Item 5).

NOTE

If you are building a new kit, refer to the

assembly guide regarding fitment of knee

trim panels as these are also best fitted at

this time.

Remove the loosely fitted bolt (fastener

pack 30P017A Item 2) and adding a plain

washer (5) pass through the interior side

panel, roll cage saddle bracket and into
