Before you proceed you might want to refresh the “skate” including the engine, clutch, bushes etc. You can read more about them from the main sections

Now you can lower the chassis on to the rolling PPF (power plant frame) and bolt it up. Use washers between the sub frame and chassis on the rear 4 bolts.

The one above shows wooden blocks for support (the engine has been removed in this example but it is not necessary to remove the engine from the sub-frame to construct your kit).

Below you can see the four bolts used to hold the rear sub-frame to the chassis. On 1.8 cars you may find brackets from the lower part of the frame that will line up with the two brackets on the lower edge of the Exocet chassis at the back edge of the floor.

The rear anti roll bar is left in place but the front one needs bolting to the chassis with 4 8mm bolts.

In addition to the welded chassis tabs in the rear (for mounting the rear subframe brace) there is a welded tab on the drivers side of the chassis in the engine bay. This is to mount an additional brace (not essential and not included in the kit) above the master cylinder to stiffen the chassis.
