Do:

  1. Fit guards to front_skirt_a, front_skirt_b and keystone_panel. The plug-panel corner gets its guard in situ at 11.14.
  2. Dry-fit each corner: the boss drops in only one way round. Drive two M3×8 SHCS into the inserts from 11.2.

check Check

Three guards fitted flush, each aperture concentric with its cut-out, and the fourth set aside for 11.14 with its corner known.

helperHelper Sorts the guards into an a pile and a b pile and hands over the one each corner needs.

What you're looking at

A belt guard is the blue ring that closes the circular cut-out in a skirt segment over a Z-drive pulley, so nothing can reach a moving belt from outside. Guards a and b are mirror images, and the pair render shows both.
