After the shell was assembled it needed to be fastened to the floor. Imade up four pieces from angle stock. The pieces were soldered to the shell. They were soldered in so the floor bottom would be flush with the sides.
The foor holes were tapped for 0-80 screws to hold the shell to the floor.
A piece of .030" thick styrene was glued to the top of the front beam so the floor would sit level front to back. The back end sits on the hump of the black protrusion which is .030" higher than the front beam.
Holes were drill through the front and a piece of brass stock is tapped 0-80 to hold down the front of the floor.
The mechanic's to hold the chassis to the shell. The green circles shows 0-80 screws going through to tapped holes in the floor. The red circle points to a milled piece to hold the rear end of the chassis to the floor. Also included is an 0-80 threaded hole for the semi-permanent drawbar.
