  • Where should I put the two shim washers on the main shaft?

  • @bladiebladiebleu Use the washers to remove any play in the shaft, they go below the collar, you should only use them if the shaft feels loose up and down.

  • how would you replace parts if you crash it when you have to use thread lock?

  • @jameshoffmandude The thread lock (blue) is a medium strength and is not too hard to undo the bolts etc. if red threadlock is used then you will need to apply a little heat to it to loosen it.

  • Great vid, very helpfull. When assembling the head I noticed you droped the washout base 3mm??? Why did you do this and should I ?because it's not mentioned if it is where. Please help thank you. My first big build!

  • @Thumpstarog I found the measurements did not give a dead square set up so dropped the washout to suit, you could make the rods 3mm longer but I think a fixed point is better than weakening the rods.
