3.4 Placement of centre console
Fit the centre consoles on the track temporary. Use the M6 bolts,
nuts, washers and nut holder included in the kit. Fit the nuts in the nut
holder and slide in to the track as per illustration.
Nut sides need to be “parallel” to track to t.
Assemble the screws, washers and centre console using the slot
shaped holes in the tting. Enter the screws in the nuts but do not
tighten. Slide the centre console to the centre of the track and tighten
the screws.
Mounting the centre console close to the leading edge of the mast/
mast base is preferable as it gives you the option to maximize the jib
foot length and by that the sail area.
The car needs to have clearance to function satisfactory.
The angle of the centre console can be modied by reshaping
the tting.
