It’s stated in F430 rules that a lexan motor is allowed (§6.6.g). At the same time it’s also stated that part H5 (§ 6.6.b is to be used) this part does not fit in the right way on a lexan motor interior. In the original Fujimi set the H5 part is placed under part D3. Since the lexan motor is made in one piece it’s therefore not possible to fit it right. The only way to get it in the motor is upside down and that looks quite silly.

Any suggestions if I should just glue it in there, upside down, or skip the whole part is much appreciated :-)

Rolf, cut it so you can put it in the right place, on each side of the Covers, and trim the cross member you cut, so that it can be glued inbetween the engine covers, it will look perfect like that. While the rulebook says no part may be modified in anyway, this item HAS to be cut in order to fit the Lexan Interiors..

Yup, thats how it should look when cut and mounted Rolf.
