Assembly Notes: RPM
bulkheads are stock replacement
parts with several modifications to
help improve crash survivability. Simply remove
your stock bulkheads and replace them with your new RPM versions.
1) Discard the stock screws that attach the bulkheads to the chassis and skid
plate (8 screws in total) and replace them with the included screws. Press the
bulkhead-to-chassis M3 locknuts in place before installing the bulkheads in
the vehicle. Take careful note of the orientation of the locknuts (refer to the
illustration above). The flat area of the locknut should rest against the plastic.
The longer M3 x 22mm screws attach the skid plates to the bulkheads.
2) Front Bulkheads: Use the included M3 x 16mm flathead screws to attach
the bulkheads to the chassis. Use the M3 x 22mm flathead screws to attach
the skid plates to the bulkheads.
3) Rear Bulkheads: Use the included M3 x 20mm flathead screws to attach
the bulkheads to the chassis. Use the M3 x 22mm flathead screws to attach
the skid plates to the bulkheads.
Notes: RPM Bulkheads are built to tight tolerance specifications and enclose
the differential much tighter than the stock versions, ensuring a rigid mount
for the differential housing. Because of the tight fit, install the bulkheads in
this order for ease of installation - 1) Bulkheads to chassis 2) A-arms to
bulkheads 3) Bulkheads to skid plate 4) Shock Tower to bulkheads 5) Front
bumper / bulkhead brace to bulkheads.
Caution: The locknuts allow a much firmer feel when tightening screws.
Because of this, use extreme caution and DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE
SCREWS! Too much pressure can easily break or deform molded skid plates
& chassis. Simply tighten until snug. The locknuts will keep the screws in
place.
