In this part we will be adding the supporting ‘walls’ to the hopper mount. These form the sides of the container where the garbage goes. Pay attention to the orientation of the pieces, and it will make for a smoother assembly process.
*Note: If you plan on driving your Bowie around a lot (who wouldn’t?) we recommend blue thread lock on the fastener threads. It’s possible some pieces may require sanding.
Fasteners required
- 14x M3 10mm

Place the tray in the hopper mount. It may require some percussive persuasion. Or sanding.
