Thanks Bibster. Pretty much as I thought. Trial and error. The styrene tubing method looks like it would work well

That looks like a foolproof solution with no trial and error. Thanks Bibbster

Thanks Rob. Some good stuff there.

I usually use wall plugs glued to the under side of the body. Then use screws, screwed through the chassis into the plugs. It works for me & cheap.

There are lots of ways to do this, apart from the regular central posts:

1. Pins, like the 1/24 scale commercial cars:





2. Countersunk holes for flat-head scews on the sides that screw into plastic tube in the body:





3. Screws through the side pans that screw into a threaded plate that is stuck to the body sides via some dense foam:

That's excellent. Gives me a bunch of options. I've just ordered the Aston kit and I'll see which one works best on it when it arrives. Many thanks everyone for your contributions.

And this guy uses magnets.
