Tiny build upgate:
I decided I should go ahead and do the Velcro front body mount
that I mentioned many posts back. Ill keep the posts and pins on the rear,
because you wont really be able to see them anyway.
I was not happy with the way the body aligned on the OEM posts
because the plastic bits and lexan bodies are not machined parts,
and tend to have some of their own "personality" when they come
off of, or out of their respective molds.
The rear end seems to line up nice, but this Velcro front mount will
let me adjust things just enough to make me happy.
Figured I would post the pics of it because I see people asking all
the time how somebody did theirs, and they sort of explain it all.
The diamond plate hood piece I will re-cut will cover the body post holes in the hood.
And here is something I wanted to try ever since I started DL'ing
pics of real Defenders to use for referance and ideas.
Its something I dont think I have ever seen anybody do yet on
a lexan Dingo body. And YES, its held on with SPIT LOL!!!
But Ill use ShoeGoo after its all painted for a more permanent bond 8)
Tell me what you think.....
