Hi guys, I'm trying to get the hull up but some pipes at the back are stopping it what do I do? It's the first time I've tried to open it

Hallo old friend, I imagine you mean the Engine air inlet pipes going into and out of the Feifel air cleaners? Grasp one of the plastic pipes coming out of the air cleaner (don't worry they are supposed to move)and pull the pipe off of it, It is not glued, if your pipes are held in place by a pair of clamps you will see on the top of each clamp two screw heads, they are small but they really are screws, undo them with CARE!!! And lift them free you will then be able to get more purchase. when you have done all that you might want to think about replacing the pipes with something less rigid. come back here and some one will tell you how and what to buy if you do. Hope that helps. shaun

Thanks I've got in but the front is held down, the back is up but something is holding it down, I've looked on the bottom of the hull but no screws are there? Only the four at the back?

Hi, Where the TRACKS run, if you look there you will see more screws, a lot of us change all the screws for NEODYMIUM MAGNETS (rare earth) to clamp the two halves together, TYPE MAGNETS in the search box on the top right hand side of this page click on search and you will see advise on how to do it. shaun

thanks, I'm opening it up for that just to mark where they will go, I've ordered some and should be arriving soon

1 front centre underneath ?

I can't find any more screws near the tracks? I think there's another two?

Plumbguy if you type "OPENING A TIGER" in the search box on the top right hand side of this page and CLICK on SEARCH, Scroll down and you will find an entry by TKCOMMANDER that refers to BIRGERS entry about everything to do with access to all things HENG LONG TIGER 1 including opening one up. shaun

Thanks I'll have a look

Perhaps this is the new type with screws hidden behind the front spare tracks. .?
