Step 1

Engage the steering column (86F) in the support (84D) as shown by the yellow arrow. Place the headlight control (86E) on the steering column as shown in the photo.

Then place the windscreen washer control (86D) opposite the control (86E). Finally, place the direction indicator (86C) on the column, on the same side as the control (86E), as shown in the photo.

Step 2

Position the steering wheel (86A) on the steering column (86F), then secure it with an SM screw on the end and in the centre of the column. Detach the self-adhesive emblem (86B) from its paper backing and position it at the centre of the steering wheel, making sure that the scorpion design of the logo is correctly positioned. Also ensure that the name ABARTH is correctly positioned and on the right-hand side, as shown in the photo.

Step 3

Position the steering column assembly on the lower dashboard panel (84E) and secure with two SM screws.

Step 4

Return to the front frame assembled in the previous steps. Detach the spare wheel strap (12C) and remove the spare wheel (21A).

Step 5

It is now a matter of replacing the old firewall (9A) with the new part (86G). To start, remove all the screws and the elements circled in yellow in the photo: the upper screws, the two brackets (9B) at the ends, the central screws of the battery holder and the screws of the crankset. Remove the latter. 

In the second photo, you can see that the firewall (9A) no longer contains the screws, brackets (9B) and crankset.

Step 6

Flip the front frame over. Remove the 4 screws (circled in yellow) from the firewall (9A) and disconnect the oil pipe (16D) and the pipes (17F&17G).

Step 7

Disconnect the air exhaust hose (16E) and the oil pipe (9D).

Step 8

Detach the universal joint (9H) from the intermediate shaft (6A), as well as the two AM screws, circled in yellow. The universal joint (9H) will be reused in a later stage.

Step 9

It is now possible to remove the old firewall (9A), as well as the battery (10B) and its carrier (10A).

Step 10

Unscrew the SM screws (see yellow arrows and circles) and remove the intermediate shaft (6A). Part 6A will be replaced by part 86H provided with this issue. Secure the universal joint (9H) removed in step 08 to the new intermediate shaft (86H) using two AM screws. Then secure the opposite end of the shaft (86H) to the universal joint (6B) using two AM screws.

Step 11

Carefully detach the hose, oil filter and oil pump (parts 9C, 9D and 9E), as well as the washer fluid reservoir (9F) and hook (12D) from the firewall (9A). Keep these parts in a safe place.

Step 12

Secure the two brackets (9B) (previously detached) to the upper ends of the new firewall (86G) with two CM screws.

Step 13

All that now remains is to place the elements previously detached from the old firewall (9A) on the new wall (86G). Start with the hose, filter and oil pump assembly (parts 9C, 9D and 9E), then the windshield washer fluid reservoir (9F) and the hook (12D). Then place the battery holder (10A) (including battery 10B), and secure with two SM screws from the rear of the wall (86G).

Step 14

Position the new front firewall (86G) on the front chassis. Slide the intermediate shaft (86H) into the opening provided for this purpose. Flip the assembly over and secure the firewall (86H) to the lower frame (5A) with four CM screws. Then connect the oil pipe (16D), as well as the pipes (17F & 17G) into the openings on the front firewall (indicated by a white oval: photo below). 

Finish securing the new firewall (86G) to the front chassis with two AM screws and four SM screws (see the yellow circles).

Step 15

Position the crankset (20D) on the front firewall (86G) and secure it with an SM screw. Reconnect the air exhaust pipe (16E) and the oil hose (9D) to the radiator (16A) as indicated by the yellow circles (photos above and opposite).

Step 16

Hook the spare tire strap (12C) to the lower hook (12D) located on the lower frame (5A). Then pass the strap inside the frame, and subsequently place the spare wheel (21A) and hook the strap (12C) to the upper hook (12D).
