The next part I'm attempting is mounting two inserts in the back which won't be that easy.
If anyone has any suggestions re marking this, I would appreciate it.
My plan is the longer of my inserts, gluing one in each corner of the boot lid,  drill the holes under the rear bumper section where I've just added that brass.
My dilemma is how do you get the inserts in the right position?
Do I drill the holes under the bumper first, get a piece of brass bar and dab paint on the end, with the body on the base then poke the bar up to mark?
I hope that makes sense, if anyone has a easier way please let me know.
I look forward to any input.  
Cheers

Hello Tony,........ I would recommend.......

1/ Drill the holes into the brass/plastic rear bumper/valence section first,.....and do not fret if these are not perfectly spaced, although it certainly looks better 

2/ Secure your inserts into some styrene/alu./brass tubing (styrene is best),.....and cut  the tubing longer than you will need.

3/ Install the inserts/tubing into you lower plastic/brass valence, and snug them.

4/ Drop the body on top and trim the tops of the body posts until you get the clearance you want/need.

5/ Remove the motor pod/wheels etc.,........this will give you better access to the body posts where they meet the underside of the body

6/ Tack the posts in with some styrene cement,.. (if you are using styrene tubes).,.....let dry.

The best glue for this type of job is a styrene weld,........ "Tack-it", "Tenax", "Plastruct", "Plast-I-Weld",...are all basically identical and dry very quickly,......far better than any epoxy etc. for styrene.

7/ Remove the body, add more styrene glue, and cut some small triangles out of styrene, these can be glued to the body post/body  where they meet.

Done !!..

PS If you screws are long enough to allow some body movement when fully bottomed out, you are good to go,......if not, you can use some set/grub screws inserted into the   inserts to take up some of the "depth" of the insert .......you can now tighten the body screws against the grub screws and have some body movement, without the body screws coming loose.
