I think they left it out because it's not an issue with new kit, it's been made to much closer tolerance. On mine the 3 screws make no change whatsoever.

The two suspension shaft holders have a tapered end. The correct way to install them is: install the taller one with taper side up and the shorter one taper side down. Its clearly shown in the manual but I overlooked it.
I did the same mistake :oops: :lol:

So I guess now will be a bad time to ask if you have a spare, single, rear wheel "drive washer" for the original Scorpion :oops: :oops: :oops:

I bought the alu wing stay from pargustore for scorpion 2014, but it doesn't fit. Is there a big difference from the original beetle / scorpion / tomahawk tranny against the 2014 version?

Screw holes are to far apart on the wing stay.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong

The mounting holes for the gearbox lid are the exact same - old to new.

So it should fit - perhaps the bends on the mount are out of angle for some reason?

Had to bend it to make it work. It doesn't look look to good,, but it works. Thanks for reply.

A couple of new pictures from Akira-san.

PS. I made the comment that we're ready for the Optima now, and he quietly "liked" the comment..... it could be a hint..... or it could mean nothing..... :lol:

They're mine. I just found the pics of them in the same folder as I had saved the pics from Akira-san, and decided to put them up :lol:
