Mounting holes FG-20150/02 Front Body Monster Truck

[J-Revo]

AFTER I'm done painting my new FG main body and front body I find that the screw holes are not matching up.
Is this a common problem? Just make new screw holes or order and paint a new one?

How far out are they - any photos?
I bought mine painted, but there's a slight kink from 'perfect' presumably from a very slight misalignment - nothing really.
Never seem to notice this much on any of the MT's I see knocking around.

I take it you mean the bumper/bib? If so it should be a perfect fit.

Yes the mounting holes for the bumper. It's about |-| <--- This much off on all the holes.

Strange,mine was a perfect fit.Is yours an original FG shell?

Yes, original FG shell. Got it from Krikke.

I just checked my old shell, the same thing there.

Not meant to be a stupid question ??? but when you mount it and screw everything tight, does it align properly?
Is it a problem of perspective before mounting?

I would have to bend the bumper some to make the holes align.

My suggestion is to put the bumper as it should be against the shell and re-drill.

+1 Voo. You can clamp as usual with the screw, nut and washers where necessary.
