keiron99 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I’ve done the dry wall tape / shoe goo thing (actually I used Evo Stik) to strengthen the body of my Associated Rival MT10. However because the body is now thicker, when it sits on the mounting post there is less clearance above the body and the holes for the clips are almost below the body. I can only get them in with great force using pliers. I’ve tried to remove the tape / goo around the holes but it’s impossible. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can remedy this please?

wombat Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Either redrill the holes in the body posts or sand back the tape/glue with a dremel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyUK Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I usually redrill the post holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiron99 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 I would drill new holes but there’s no room to do it. The holes are already right at the top. Will have to figure a way to remove the mesh/glue around the holes. Not easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Have you got or tried a countersinking / taper bit, maybe heat the bit to allow it to melt the shoegoo rather than trying to drill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Heres what to do, the plastic disc the bodyshell sits on, remove it by either cutting it or grinding it away, this will allow the bodyshell to sit lower, to stop the bodyshell sitting all the way down too far drill some holes below where the disc would have been and put some bodypins in and then the body will sit on these, if you dont like this idea, drill a bit further down still (like 2mm more) and then put a washer on top of the bodypin and sit the body on these, then you can use the existing holes at the top to put your bodypins at the top to hold your body on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
