# 4 body mount pictures
#3
Melting Slicks
The #4 body mount support was riveted (aluminum rivets) to the body pretty early in the build process. See photo below. As the body continued down the assembly line (next photo), subsequent sections were bonded on. In particular, the single rivet at the back of #4 was covered up by a panel. If you do a Forum search there are several threads discussing the #4 mount.
In my case, I used a Dremel to remove the aluminum rivets from the front and sides and a hack saw blade to cut off the single rear rivet. I had the body off. I fit the new support and then used stainless cap head screws (instead of rivets) to attach. For the rear fastener, I cut a small hole in the panel covering the back of the mount so I could access the SS cap head screw. I chose using the small bolts vs bucking new aluminum rivets as my wife was my helper and I didn't want to test the marriage!
