Description
Do you recognize the oxidation problem with the base plate of your Norev model car on the second picture?
Because of this poor quality of zamac Marpytoys proposes a replacement. Effort to be made:
- take the model car apart
- switch the wheels from the original to the replacement
- refit the base plate
DONE!
Also available upon request for other Norev base plates, for example the Berlingo (third picture).
Mounting instruction Norev replacement base:
Recommended tools:
- Drill 1.8 mm
- Knife
- File
- Screwdriver
Versions:
- Berlingo-phase-2, unscrew the bottom plate and remove it with the interior section.
- Xsara Picasso, remove front-bumper and rear licence plate section. The bottom section should be free now.
Procedure:
1. Remove the wheels from the axes by turning them in reversed direction and gently pull.
2. Recover any additional sections from the old bottom plate, like exhaust.
3. Clean the new bottom plate for any printer-movement residue.
4. Fit and adjust if needed the overall size, by reducing the size with a file till it fits on all sides.
5. Check if bottom fits with interior section in place, adjust where needed.
6. With the new bottom in position, find the centre position of each wheel on the inner wing wheel arch. Drill with the 1.8 mm a hole on the found wheel position, as close to the floor as possible.
7. Reposition wheels and axes.
8. Reposition other parts, recovered from step 2.
9. For Berlingo: fix the bottom with the original screw to the body.
10. For Xsara Picasso: ensure the 2 body fixations on the new bottom is open. You might consider cutting the central locks of the front bumper/rear plate holder, so it fits directly. Some glue is recommended. Position bottom and lock it in place with the front bumper and rear plate holder.
PS. The material allows hard-plastic glue to be applied, if you want to add additional elements.
