I was thinking of buying these, when I realized I had a bunch laying around. Most of you do too! Use the Axial fake wheel hub caps. Cut off body post top. Use 4mm x 20mm setscrew or screw with head removed. Drill out body post. I used 1/8 bit. Insert screw. Screw wheel hub cap onto body post!    |

I did this mod today. Removed the hood pin mounts and drilled the hole out take an m4 up through the tab put a nut on top and then use the proline tops that I had and works like a champ.    Last edited by THX_138; 10-01-2016 at 01:58 AM. |

This thread deserves a bump because it's a great idea. I went with the Pro-Line Body Mount Kit and it is Slick! It sure beats the body clips. The guy at the LHS looked at me kind of funny when I asked for them so I'll have to bring in my Bomber to show him. Cheers! |

I'll be doing this mod in a little while to my Bomber, using the JConcepts part #2160-2 - Battery Hold-down Thumb Nuts, Black aluminum. Thanks for bumping the thread, as I needed a refresher on how to go about it! I've had the parts sitting around for ages... |

Interesting! My Bomber needs something like this too... the aluminum hod is too thick to use the push pin, so only the battery retainer is locked - the hood claps freely at every jump...
