Hi Dave

Just putting my drive together but noticed that diagram says that the half shaft should be attached to the diff by a 10mm pin but the ones supplied ar 14mm.

Which size did you use?

Many thanks

Bob

Hi Bob

You should have 3 sizes of pins supplied, 2 off M3 x10 for the half shafts, 2 off M3 x 14 for the “dog bone” connecting rod from the motor to the diff, and 2 off M3 x 20 for the brake pads. If you are missing any of these, drop an email to Monique. She is very helpful👍

Hope this helps.

Mick.
