when boxing A frame what did you do for body mount nuts?

any suggestions captured nut size-types or did you do some thing different- acess holes?

 

I guess you could weld nuts in the frame before you put on the boxing plates?

 

I made access holes in the boxing plate... enough to get my fingers in and start the bolts and get a wrench in to tighten...

I thought about that but wondering if bolts would need much wiggle room like a captive nut.

 

the access holes with a hole saw would be good

 

you could use a nut sert maybe... http://compare.ebay.com/like/130657159781?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

 

+1. Used a hole saw and put the hole at the top edge of the inboard side.

i welded a 1/2 in. plate and then drilled and tapped the plate.

 

I have drilled access holes and drilled and tapped the frame in areas that didn't allow holes. HRP

 

Use a step drill to chamfer the hole,... use a flange nut and drop it in the hole upside down..... weld it up......

These guys....




Or weld nuts into place before you weld in the boxing plates.....

 

This thread gives me hope... I thought I might be the only one who excitedly boxed my Model A frame, and then realized I hadn't given much forethought to mounting holes and accessing them!

 

That's exactly what I did.

 

great tips, thanks

 

try threaded bungs.

I just made 6 simple brackets on the inner frame rails. I also used swag bar bushings as body bushings. Kind of hard to see in the pic but it is all I have.

Worked great for my RPU. I then poked holes in rubber strips for padding under the body.
