Center Ankle Mounting Kit for JAG Ankle

The AP CL Mount was designed for the JAG center ankle:

-- This kit is for a STATIC mounted center leg.   This is not a 2-3-2 kit.  If you are doing a 2-3-2 system with a JAG ankle you will only need the mounting block which is available in the Parts section.

-- Provide a means to securely set your droid in the 3-leg position.

-- A robust system that doesn't require adjustment or tinkering. 

 

 

 

Pre-assembly :  Inventory the kit.  Should have a mounting plate, mounting block, four spacers, and all required hardware.

Pre-assembly:  Mark the JAG center ankle for drilling (ankle not included in the kit).  You can use the dimensions from the drawing to locate the holes or just slide the block into the leg half way and mark the center (like I am doing in the picture below.  The holes will need to be 3/8" below the top edge of the ankle.

Pre-asembly:  Drill the holes in the ankle.  I used a 0.21" drill bit.  Use a center punch on the hole first and take your time.  The drill bit will try to "walk" when you first start the hole.  You may need to touch up the location slightly with a needle file to get it to fit correctly.

Test Fitting:  Attach the ankle to the mount using four each 10-24 X 1/2" socket head screws with flat washers(supplied).  Don't need to make it real tight at this point.  We will take it apart and paint before final assembly.

Paint that rascal your desired color.  R2A6 uses this white.

Ankle Bling added to make that correct appearance.  These are JAG aluminum pieces, but resin looks nice also.

Remove the skirt retaining screws.  You will replace them with the four spacers, and the 1.5" long 1/4-20 cap screws.

The mounting plate attaches to the skirt spacers after inserting the spacers between it and ring four.

Side view showing the static mounted ankle.  Cylendirs just clear the bottom of the skirt in this configuration.  You can extend or reduce the amount of ankle extension by changing the length of the spacers.  This measurement is not consistent on the screen droids.
