Elan S4 Coupe body mounting
Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2021 7:50 pm
Hi
I’m about to start drilling and tapping my new galvanised chassis for mounting the body. I dropped the body onto the chassis today and noticed that the bobbins which align against the front turrets are tapped. Checking the manual I see that these should be untapped holes and the threads should be in the top of the turrets. I checked my old chassis (which I removed donkey’s years ago) and sure enough the holes in the top of the turrets are untapped, just plain drilled holes. It seems the bolts must have been inserted from behind the shockers and screwed into the body bobbins. Has anyone else seen this.
