Assembly & Site Assembly
The end is now in site!
You now have all the elements repaired, prepared and ready to be put back together.
​
Assembly can be broken down into 2 sections - the 'at home' part and then assembly 'on site'.
​
In this section you will find a 'HOW TO' sheet for the following elements
-
Gearing Assembly
-
Character Assembly
-
Bracket and Finger Assembly

Post Assembly ​
​
Assembly 'at home'
Some elements are best completed at home for ease and to safe unnecessary time on site
​
-
Gearing Assembly
-
Character Assembly
-
Bracket and Finger Assembly
​
Fingers are generally and affixed in the workshop
The fingers should be bolted to the bracket with stainless steel bolts ONLY: preferably carriage/coach bolts.
(Galvanised bolts will rust due to the tannins in the wood)

Assembly 'on site'
Site assembly may require either full or partial replacement -: or refurbishment in-situ.
Whilst some locations may allow working away from the road most will require working near the Highway and Risk Assessment will be needed.
POSTS: DIY post installation NOT recommended, particularly as DC Highways will carry out this work Free of Charge! DFR can arrange this for you!
The socket/spindle assembly can be added later, together with the brackets c/w fingers.
ANY WORK ON THE HIGHWAY SHOULD BE WITH CARE AND APPROPIATE PPE
