It is placed between the bulkhead and cap and then mounts on the
top of the steering assembly to add extra support.
Great build by the way Sven

correct - you only have to add zc-200L (longer steerings posts) and some nuts. See Masami's car for reference.

After seeing this thread, I think I have the incorrect bottom body pan and cover. Everything else looks correct on mine. Unbelievable build. Sweet car man!

Masami's car is pictured and discussed in detail in a rc-car action 1989 issue - you'll find the scans in the scans area.

yes correct, there is also another one that has less material and rounded on the outside, but i think that is a newer one for the YR-4.
