(6)

Place the inner slide (1) inside the outer post (2) and allow to rest on the welded back plate

(9) and the lower slide pad (4).

(7)

Set the inner slide 0.25 mm clear of the welded back plate (9) and lower slide pad (4).

(8)

Measure the gap 'Z' between the opposite face of the inner slide (1) and the internal face of

the outer post (2).

(9)

Subtract 0.25 mm for clearance from measurement 'Z'. Machine upper slide pad (3)

thickness to this measurement.

(10)

Machine the upper slide pad (3) in accordance with detail 'B'.

(11)

Remove the inner slide (1) from the outer post (2).

(12)

Apply thread locking compound to two of the screws (5).

(13)

Fit the upper slide pad (3) to the outer post (2) and secure in place with two screws (5),

washers (6) and upper slide pad retention blocks (7).

(14)

Place and centralise the inner slide (1) inside the outer post (2).

(15)

Measure the gaps 'Y' between the inner slide (1) and the outer post (2).

(16)

Add the two measurements together, divide the result by two and subtract 0.25 mm for

clearance.

NOTE

Example of measurement and calculation of side pad thickness:

Left side

Y=3

Right Side

Y=4

Therefore:-

C = [(3 + 4) / 2] - 0.25]

C = [7 / 2 ] - 0.25

C = 3.5 - 0.25

C = 3.25 mm

(17)

Machine the side pads (10) to this measurement 'C', see detail 'A'.

(18)

Remove the inner slide (1) from the outer post (2).

(19)

Apply thread locking compound to the screws (5).

(20)

Fit the side wear pads (10) to the outer post (2) and secure in place with the screws (5),

washers (6) and retaining blocks (8).
