Sorry to hear that Ken..... Cant you get the bits apart and rebuild them with Sprue and plastic rod or somesuch ????\ said:Well I am totally peed off this was advertised as new and unstarted. Someone has gone ahead on the instructions and started the frame, only they've glued it all wrong (and used plenty of it) I've tried getting it apart but it's like it's welded together, and even if I get it apart I'm not sure I can reposition it where it should be, so this is another one that's on hold, funny its another Heller kit.
Kick back and have drink matey. Take another look at it tomorrow. I know it`s a notch. But if you have to take a knife to it most of it is under the seat and tank........ Don`t let it win.\ said:Pete I can't get them apart but may be able to razor them apart and use some parts from the scraps drawer, whoever built this knew nothing about bikes, the frame is made up of 4 parts the yoke and centre rib in two parts( which are not lined up and so the steering boss will need drilling out to get the shaft to fit, the idiot has then glued this part to the right hand side of the frame in completely the wrong place (even though (. Unusual for a Heller kit) there is a locating pin) making it impossible to attatch the left dide, which is obviously why the kit was abandoned, I know I don't necessarily follow the instructions on a kit WHEN I KNOW WHAT I'M building this idiot didn't know the front of a bike from the back, and should have read the instructions, I know he didn't because I was going to do my best work on this so followed the instructions and the frame don't come til page 3 but he started with the frame. I am seething.
