1959 Magnetic Body Mounts
Assembly Instructions
Disclaimer
This kit contains 3D printed parts that have been specifically designed to support your vehicle's
body using magnets. With that being said it's important that you refrain from bending and
manipulating the parts since they are thin and have little support until the magnet is set into
place. Once the magnets are installed, these parts will be plenty strong for this application. It
should be noted that the magnets can fit a bit loosely within the mounts depending on the
manufacturer's dimensions. The mounts are designed with this in mind and will hold the magnet
in place regardless of the difference in size.
Parts/tools needed to complete the assembly
● 4 magnets will be needed with the dimensions of 60x10x3mm. We

- Page 1 1959 Magnetic Body Mounts Assembly Instructions Disclaimer This kit contains 3D printed parts that have been specifically designed to support your vehicle’s body using magnets. With that being said it's important that you refrain from bending and manipulating the parts since they are thin and have little support until the magnet is set into place.
- Page 2 Chassis Mount Installation Rear Chassis Mount Installation The first part that will be installed is the rear chassis mount. Start by taking the part and identifying the marking that is above where the magnet will sit. This marking will need to be pointed towards the rear of the chassis when it's installed.
- Page 3 After the magnet is placed into the mount, it can now be installed onto the chassis. Take your index finger and place it over the middle of the magnet and place your thumb over the middle of the flat side of the mount. Now pinch the parts together (this is to ensure that the magnet will not fall out during the installation process).
- Page 4 While pressing down on the mount with your thumb you can now remove your index finger making sure that the magnet does not fall from the slot. At this point you can switch hands so that previous steps can be repeated to install the remaining clip. Front Chassis Mount Installation First, we will install the magnet into the front chassis mount.
- Page 5 After the magnet is properly seated, the mount can be installed onto the chassis. Start by locating the M3x8mm screws and the washers from the kit. This hardware will be used to secure the front chassis mount using the existing holes from the stock front body posts. Next examine the shape of the front chassis mount.
- Page 6 Now place the washers onto the screws and drive them into the front chassis mount. Do not tighten them all the way just yet. Perform one last check to see if the mount matches the pictures seen above. If they do not match the pictures above then adjust them and tighten the screws.
- Page 7 With the magnet marked, place it in the rear body mount making sure that the magnet is sitting flat. If the magnet was marked as described previously, the side that does not have a marking should be facing up within the mount. Double check and take the mount with the magnet installed and place it on the rear chassis mount.
- Page 8 Remove the four rear screws of the FiftyNine body which secures the original rear body mount to the bumper. Next remove the two screws of the taillight assembly that are marked in the picture below (make sure to keep all the screws in a safe place since they will be used later in the installation process).
- Page 9 Install the rear body mount using the original screws from the taillight assembly and the middle portion of the rear bumper. Use the remaining screws to fasten the posts that have the spacers installed. A picture of the installed rear body mount and spacers can be seen in the picture below.
- Page 10 Take a 60x10x3mm magnet and place it onto the front chassis mount. Make a note on what side the magnet is attracted to the front chassis mount (again it is recommended to mark this side with a permanent marker).
- Page 11 Insert the marked magnet into the empty slot of the mount having the marked side facing away from the front bumper. It's best to start with the corner of the magnet pressing against the tab and sliding it until the tab overcomes the magnet as seen in the pictures below.
- Page 12 Congratulations the mounts have been fully installed! When placing the FiftyNine body onto the chassis, attach the front first and swing the rear onto the chassis mount. To remove the body, take the rear off first and swing it towards the front to take it off from the chassis mount. Make sure when the body is put on to the vehicle that the fenders clear the chassis.
