8.4. FRONT

- Start with the placement of the grill mesh for the cooling vents in the front.
- Cut the mesh to size with an overlap of about 2 cm on all sides.
- Glue the mesh to the polyester using Sikaflex, and hold the mesh firmly against the polyester. Sikaflex should dry for about 24 hours.

Hint: To attach the mesh, use a piece of wood on the front side of the front, and pull the mesh tightly against the front with a tie-wrap.

- After that, you can put the front against the body. [picture]
It is important for the final result that the front is well-connected to the body. The split between front and body is clearly visible, and if the width of the split is irregular you will notice that immediately. Be accurate when installing the front.
- Scour the inside of the front that will be put against the body. Use a belt sander. Make sure the polyester is 4 mm thick so that the outside of the front runs parallel with the outside of the body.
- Put the front against the body and make sure the line between front and body is parallel. The upper fold in the front should be neatly in line with the fold in the body.
- The front does not need to be on the chassis on the front side. If there is some space in between, you can fill it up with sheet-metal rings.
The front is attached to the side with four bolts. You can begin by drilling three of them. With the fourth bolt, the big front mudguard is installed simultaneously.
- Drill the three holes (Ø 5.5 mm) in the front (see picture) and then drill them through the body.
- Attach the front to the body. Use an M5x16 roundhead on the upper side and two M5x20 for the other holes.
- Check whether the front hits the engine somewhere, and, if necessary, create more space.
- Drill two holes (Ø 6.5 mm) in the front side of the front using the holes in the chassis. The front is attached with two bolts on the front side of the chassis. These holes are already in the chassis but still need to be drilled through the front from below.
- Fasten the front on the front side with two M6 bolts and, if necessary, use a collar or sheet-metal rings (M6) as filling material between the front and the chassis.
