Well the big day has arrived! Now that I am confident in the wiring and the engine its time to fit the body permanently.
First step was to fit the Aluminium body mount to the rear of the frame, we just slipped it on and then fitted the body. As its a tight fit once it was in the right position we just lifted the body and fixed it in place using 3 M6 bolts through the frame.
You can see the ali mount in this pic:


Next we spent a bit of time getting the body as central as possible then marked out the spacing for the rivets.
Plenty of this stuff was applied to the face of the mount and the body lowered into position for the last time.


Rivets were fitted making sure there is enough space either side for the humps.


Stay tuned for part 2.
