body to pan

Postby staggerwing » 22 Thu Feb, 2007 11:34 am

Okay guys:

Wanna share your technigues for mounting the body to the pan?

I have a 2" box steel rail running around my pan and plan to weld 3/8" nuts into the top of the rail that will be flush with the top surface of the rail. A roll bar will be probably be welded to a 1/4" flat plate that will sit on top of the fiberglass lip running around the inside of a Berrien body. Not sure how many bolts will hold the stuff down, but I just talked to a guy that has a Manx-Type buggy that he races, and he's using four bolts to hold his body on!

About six per side.........four is not nearly enough. Then catch the ones at the front (through the double holes) and four over the rear where the holes are.
If at first you don't succeed, beat the pshaw out of the business partner, and then go at it alone! LOL!
