Body Mounting - Factory Five Racing Mk3 Roadster Assembly Manual

10. Using a pen, mark the location of the bracket holes on the hood lip.
11. Remove the bracket and drill the holes.
12. Countersink the holes on the body's hood lip a little by turning a Philips head screwdriver in the hole.
13. Mount the brackets with the angled part pointed down and towards the hood opening.
14. Attach the cam wedge to the square handle shaft using a small hex key. Adjust them so that they will
go under the angled aluminum bracket when the hood is on the car and the handles are locked.
15. Cut off any excess square rod that hangs down past the cam wedge on the hood handles.
ATTENTION: It is smart to have some help when doing this step. Much of this positioning is push and
pull until all holes line up. The fiberglass edges can be very sharp. Wear gloves when lifting or
holding the body. You'll get best results if you paint your body and panels at the very end of this
entire project. Final mount and fit your body and panels, then remove them, perform bodywork
and paint operations and mount the painted body/panels at the end ONCE.
TOOLS: 2"x 4"x 36" brace, duct tape.
1. Place a 36" long 2"x 4" brace in between the front of the cockpit and the rear of the cockpit.
2. Get three friends to help with the next step.
3. Have one person lift the body at the nose and another person lift the body at the back of the body's
lower edge.
