The parts supplied in this stage will not be needed until the next stage, so keep them stored somewhere safe for now:

Attaching the Reinforcement Crossbar

Step 1

Retrieve all of your parts (and the Type A screws) supplied with the previous stage. Press the post of the black Horn Actuator Body into the silver Horn Actuator Body, as shown:

Press the two pins of the silver Horn Actuator Body bracket into the matching holes at this location of the Reinforcement Crossbar.

Step 2

Press the two holes of the Windscreen Washer Reservoir onto the two pins at this location of the Reinforcement Crossbar, as shown.

If you find this to be a tight fit, use a sharp hobby knife or file to remove some of the black paint from the pins:

Step 3

Retrieve your Front Frame assembly from the previous stage. Fit this Reinforcement Crossbar over the two matching posts on either side, orientating it as shown:

Secure the Reinforcement Crossbar into place with two (2) Type A screws.

This is your friendly reminder to try using 3-in-One Oil on all screws going into metal:
