Assembling manual
1. Insert SS495A1 into its socket in the top part of the lever frame (use a drop of super glue to fix it there) and solder its wires. Route wires as shown on the 3rd picture, use some glue as necessary.
2. Cut off a piece of 10mm square aluminum profile. Choose the length depending on the lever you want to build (as stated in the lever body manual, e.g. 200mm for a single throttle lever)
3. Put the lever connector part onto the rail.
