Chris. Your chassis looks like jewelry. Truly amazing!

What size screws and lock-nuts are you using and where can we get them please?

Also. Are the screws and lock-nuts that you use for brass the same as a plastic chassis?

Thanks a million for posting this!

Hi Ken, This is just a cleaned up/modified original Monogram chassis,..........nothing special, but, the mods do transform the car.

The original Monogram chassis (as did many Vintage kits) all used 4/40 nuts and bolts, and I have just used some cleaned up originals.............4/40 nuts, bolts, nylok nuts are readily available from good fastener shops in both brass and steel. As far as Slot shops, Professor motor (and others) do carry them.

While there is no reason not to use the 4/40 size in current "plastic", or scratchbuilt cars, I typically use 2/56 for my plastic/scratchbuilt stuff. (Try to keep my original 4/40 bits for my Vintage cars   ). The 2/56 size only requires very minor "opening" of the holes in the pod lugs.
These 2/56 bits are also readily available from Professor Mtr., SCC, ABSlotsport, and a host of others.

Cheers
Chris Walker
