Aluminum Removal - Factory Five Racing MK4 ROADSTER Assembly Manual

When you store the body on the ground (unsupported) for long periods of time you may get slight
distortion (bowing) around the walls forward of the doors. In order to avoid the chance of this
happening, we recommend putting two short 2"x 4" braces (24" long) under the windshield holes
(running vertically to support the hood cowl area just forward of the doors under the windshield holes).
Use these 2"x 4" 's whenever the body is on the ground, otherwise make a body buck to support it. A
body buck diagram is in the appendix. The dimensions do not have to be exact. A rough shape is all
that is needed to hold the body.
