How are you guys attaching the body top to the tub?
Dave
Hi Dave, Early attex's used staples but I replaced mine with rivets and backing washers. Some machines use carriage bolts. Max 2s use a bolt threaded up through a flat spring steel doohickey and had a large wing nut on top. Take your pick and good luck. Later Mike
I use flat self tapping Phillips head screws and then cut the end off so they don't stick out. The key is to drill a pilot hole first or you will crack the body. Works great for me because I can take it back off with no extra work.

Thanks for the information. I assume your not using any adhesive and is the black edging stuff still available? One more thing, I'm looking for the rubber mounts for the headlights.

Where are you located. The races are held in Ashtabula Ohio and there is a swap meet during the event. I bet all that stuff could be found there.
l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!
I have a body band molding off a Superchief that is available.
The trouble with retirement is.... I never get a day off !!!!
It's in good condition. What's the cost?
Dave
I used abs goo and the bolts that hold the body band on.

Hi Lantz, The only drawback to that is you'll never get it apart again. I'd just buy a foam gasket like they use on pickup caps. Later Mike
From the factory mine was held together with ABS goo and staples. If I ever wanted to take it apart again I would take it apart like I did in the first place. But I have no intrest in taking it back apart.
