This is my mounting Jig that I used to make mounts with plastruct so I can adapt IDEAL TCR ,Lionel Power passer & Matchbox speedtrack bodies to the wide TYCO 440-X2 chassis.Basicly it is a stock TYCO 440-X2 wide chassis that is stripped & half of the lower tabs are dremeled away so plastruct "T" fittings can be inserted & glued with superglue Gel & flat pieces of plastruct are also inserted & superglued after body is aligned. In this case I had to also add blue plastic from recycled IDEAL TCR cases as the body in this cas was very wide.The chassis is painted so that excess superglue Gel does not make it hard to remove.
Now I can race & enjoy these unique cars on my slotted track ! :cool:

Hey, Neal!
How long have you been hanging onto this cool secret deely?
I have always shyed away from building x2 mounts because I thought they were always a real pain to get straight, hey! AND, I can't count the number of really cool bods that had the right WB for an x2, but were too wide for a friction-fit! I passed up many!
Thanks for the really great secret! :thumbsup:

Thats some really precision fab Neal. I'm amazed at how the heck you keep it all square and tight. Looks very sturdy to boot. This trick goes definately goes in my "gotta remember this one file" or better yet Coaches new wiki slotcar How To almanac.

Really interesting....I have tried Coach's wiki to add this info to it
