How to mount ABS shells?
 

Anyone give me some pointers to get the shell mounted to the car.

I don't want to cock the job up, so any help would be appreciated.

I'm thinking of using 4off vertical worlds body posts to mount an abs escort shell.

I understand how to do it with clear lexan, but opaque abs i have no idea what to do.

Thanks

Personally I use a chalk pen. Put some liquid chalk (or any ink) on the tops of the posts, lower the shell into position and the holes are marked, I measure to check they are all even before drilling.

May not be the ‘correct’ way, but works every time for me. Also there is a tool for this that works on similar principle… http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Body-Shell...item3a6823da4b

ihave used similar tool to good effect on painted lexan

When i ran mardave i used to put a blob of blu-tak on each post top then push shell on. Then when you take shell off again the blu-tak remains inside giving you and indent to drill.

Thanks!!
