For anyone new to building, in step 5 on the transmission it tells you to put ball stud washers under the bolts that hold the motor plate on.. With these washers on, there is not much tread captured in the motor mount (now there will be guys saying "ive not had a problem with it") more threads=stronger join. Take the washers off, you dont need them, the bolt will never pull through the gearbox.. This step also tells you to put tread lock on the bolts..

Not sure why, they go straight through plastic.. You only need to put tread lock on the end of the bolt later in step 6 when fitting the motor mount..
Its a shame this thing is going together so quickly..
So let us get this straight.
You haven't put the motor plate on, but you're telling us that you don't need the ballstud washers on the screws?
Just curious. This must be your first Associated car.
