ASSEMBLING THE WHEEL PANTS (6 Steps)
1. ■ ■ Clean up the edges of the pant halves by gently sliding
them over sandpaper on a flat surface.
2. ■ ■ On both the outer and the inner pant half, drill a 3/16”
hole at the axle location.
■ ■ Glue the two support plates to the inner pant half.
■ ■ Glue the axle support plate to the outer pant half,
aligning the center mark on the plate concentric with
the hole.
3. ■ ■ Rough-cut the wheel opening in all four pant halves.
Then glue an outer half to an inner half, forming a lap
joint. Align the outer half edge to the scribe line on the
inner half all around.
