Eureka AVLB

OK, this is kind of embarassing seeing as how I drive the Real World one of
these for a living, but I'm not sure I've got this right.

It's got 5 pieces. One looks like the hydraulic framework with the "foot" (big
flat piece that sits on the ground when launching the bridge.) Another looks
like a frame of some sort, and then you've got the two bridge halves and the
chassis.

Now, I can't seem to find a picture on the Eureka website, so if someone's
posted a pic of this mini I'd appreciate it.

The foot piece has a square peg sticking out, but there's no slot for it to
stick into. The support bracket piece that looks like an E looks like the
middle arm of the E fits into a slot on the foot piece.

If that's right, then what makes a bit of sense is for the little peg to rest
on the back of the deck, right on the engine grill (!). The foot then sticks
out about the right distance. Balancing the bridge on top in the right
position, so that it can stick straight up when the foot is on the ground, is
a bit tricky but it's just barely possible if I throw enough glue on it.

The end result is even uglier and more topheavy than the real thing, and I
can't see how the hydraulics would work (you're missing the scissors cylinder
in the bridge for one thing).

G'day,

We've got a few pages of pics of Nic's vehicles at home, if you give me the
non-contracted name I can get Derek to tell me if its on our pages or
not and then I can scan it on for you (though even if I do have a pic I'm away
the rest of this week so you may have to wait).

Cheers
