Title: Putting back together my V-39... HELP!!!!
Post by: rayne75 on February 23, 2012, 07:41:37 pm
Fellas, I have a problem. The computer that I had the pictures of my teardown crashed/died   :jawdrop: . I've been able to get everything back together until now by memory, but I am about to put the tub back in and cannot for the life of me figure out the phenolic washers for the tub spacing and the latch box spacing for the door lock. If anyone has any pics showing the placement of the washers(the thick ones and the thin ones) and the latch box assembly I would greatly appreciate it. I am afraid I am going to mess up my paint at some point before I figure it out. Thanks in advance, Tracy

      Thick ones go on the studs before installing the tub, thin ones on the outside.
Same goes for the latch.

Here's mine... however I think I'll need to tweak the latch box spacers because my machine wasn't catching very well.  I'm planning to reassemble it once it is all cleaned up (but before I send her out for paint) to make sure.

Section 3 of the users manual has a nice diagram of the latch box w/measurements.
