  1. Tack P25 at a 90 degree angle along the length of the bottom of the lid. Tack 2x P26 Lid Struts onto the ends of the Lid at a 90 degree angle. Ensure a 1/4" space for 2x P29 to fit later (after the hinge and hydraulics are complete)

  2. Place the lid into the seal, so that it rests with equal clearance on the left and right side (should be 1/4" each side). ensure the top and bottom edges are flush with the top and bottom of the seal edges. you may need to position something at the base to keep it from sliding out of place. this will be used as a guide for the hinges.

  3. Tack 2x P31 hinge pieces in position - Ensure after placing a washer on the outside face of the hinges that it is aligned with lid struts (P26) on the ends. Check for fit by passing the hinge rod through the holes in the P31 pieces. Finish the welds.
