So with the body ready to go on we can look at the next step which is bolting it down. To do this we like to use the factory pan holes so we remove the body and start on the pan. With the body on you can't see the factory holes so you need to either drill from under side which sucks or make it so you can see where they are.
To do this we simply chalk the pan .
We then lay out our mounting hardware and ensure it is good to go. The Meyers Manx Kit comes with the body mounting bolts and we use factory style body washers to fit under the pan lip and keep it strong.
Once happy we drop the body into place and drill the body in the center of the lip in line with the body holes.
Doing it this way keeps it all looking neat and centers the mounting washers.
Now you will often get a body that don't want to play and it sucks in on the sides.
If it does this then mount the best side in its favor and use a small jack or timber length to force the other side out. Sorry no pictures but feel free to ask.
Also remember the front two holes hardly ever get used so don't stress it. If you want to use them you will probably need to add a bracket.
When we mount we push the body back if anything to give more room for the tires to turn.
