Hi,

I am pretty new on this forum, but I tried to read as much as I could :-). I can see everybody tries to be very helpful and very detailed. I just purchased my V5 and ready to assemble, however there are different stories about how to build up. I would like you to get your experience/opinion on the below questions, much appreciated :-)
1. Cement: per instruction you put cement everywhere (lower, upper deck, etc). What do you think on it? Keneth blog says just put on the lower deck, file the edges and leave other parts, if I remember correctly.

2. Gear diff unit II with metal bearing for front: Does anyone have instruction/video link how to assemble diff with putty 75 from Ride? I can see Jill video with oil. however I am not sure about putty filling.

3. new damper: this is very new to me, I only used old TRF dampers so far. Per manual I should make a little hole in the cup. By what tools did you do it and what can go wrong? What should I focus on not to break it.

Many thanks for your reply.
Have a great day.
