Then, use one (1) NM screw at the rear outer hole…

… and one (1) CM screw at the rear inner hole:

Step 02

On the other side, fit the Right Front Fender Liner onto the Front Middle Chassis (over the right front wheel), as shown, and secure the Right Front Fender Liner down with two (2) DM screws at the front…

… and one (1) CM screw at the rear inner hole:

Step 03

Fit the two pins of the Radiator Tank into the matching holes on the top edge of the Radiator Front, as shown.

Secure the Radiator Tank in place from underneath with two (2) DP screws, as shown:

Fit the Radiator Rear into the Radiator Front, and secure with six (6) HP screws, as shown:

Step 04

Push the D-shaped socket of the Radiator Filling Cap onto the matching D-shaped post of the Radiator Tank:
