The build on this goes together quite well. Make sure you use a good set of hex drivers and don't over tighten items as the plastic can strip if you do. Snug is good enough. In addition to what Pete mentioned, I would suggest the following also:
- captured rear hingepins
- Whatever is the recommended piston setting these days versus stock, so get some piston blanks.
The lack of captured hingepins seemed to be the one area where people seemed to have the most frustration when driving. I had one pop out in the early days of the vehicle, then went to captured pins and exotek rear hubs and had no more issues then.
