I am wanting to build a MK Indy and have been looking at some of the build diaries on the net.
One thing that has got me thinking is that when u drill into the chassis to fix the floor (or anything for that mater) does small metal filings go into the tubes of the chassis and rattle around?
I can’t really see how you would get them out if you did?

Can anyone clear this up for me?

TAG.

After drilling a hole or somthing similar little shreds of steel are left inside the box sections nd tubes.

What you need to do to remove these shreds are to find a supplyer of hybid wood worm. These wood worms have been especially trained for the task at hand.

There fitted with Tungsten Tipped Teeth. You simply drill a 8mm hole in the steel and push these little blighters into the hole. Using the special gloves provided.

Be carefull not to leave them in there to long or they get slightly agitated. And they'll start to eat your chassis. The Hybrid Wood Worm Union insists that ech worm is given a 10 min rest after every 45 mins of work. If you don't the HWWU will take you to a industrial tribunal and you'll be liable to compensation claims.


Otherwise! Leave em in. Doubt you'll be able to hear them over the road/exhasust/screaming noise.

How about squirting waxoil or similar in the holes. Should stop any corrosion inside the tubes and stop anything from moving around.

Don't know what the weight impact is if you fill up all the tubes though.....

Cut the chassis in half and shake 'em out.

Do i have to think of everything?

If before you even order the kit you are worried about things like this, I'd seriously think twice about giving building any Kit-Car a wide berth, as when you get to putting the suspension on and the engine in you'll be having a coronary!!
Stick to Airfix, much less stress.
