Working on the Left Pelvis

The first steps of this issue will be identical to the assembly of the Right Pelvic Girdle in Issue 44.

Step 1

Take note of these two posts on the Pelvic Girdle (Left):

Step 2

Retrieve the Pelvic Frame assembly from the previous issue. Fit the top two screw holes of the Pelvic Frame over these posts.

When this is fitted correctly, the outer edge of the Pelvic Frame should sit nicely inside the Pelvic Girdle:

Step 3 

Begin to secure these together using two (2) PB 2×6 mm screws in the top two holes:

Steps 4-5

Secure the other fixing points with four (4) PB 2×4 mm screws:

Step 6

Fit the Pelvic Girdle Detail (Left) to this location, aligning the screw holes.

Step 7

Secure the end of the Pelvic Girdle Detail (Left) in place with one (1) black PM 2×4 mm screw, as shown:

Step 8

Secure the top of the Pelvic Girdle Detail (Left) in place with one (1) PB 2×4 mm screw, as shown:
