Pro Body Tool II Instructions

 
 
The Pro-Body Tool II is designed to accurately create pilot holes in existing axle slots or to create new axle holes using a hand drill on BSA and PineCar kits. The required #44 drill bit is included.
  1. Test fit the tool on the bottom of the block with the two ‘ears’ positioned on the sides of the block. If the tool will not fit onto the block, use coarse grit sandpaper to reduce the width of the block until the tool fits snuggly. If the tool is loose, tighten the fit by placing a piece of paper - folded as needed - between one ‘ear’ of the tool and the block.


    2. To Create Pilot Holes in Axle Slots

  2. Use a square to draw a straight line on one side of the car starting at the middle of the axle slot, and extending to the top of the car. (Or measure the distance from one end of the block to the middle of an axle slot and transfer that measurement to the top-side of the block. Then use a ruler to draw a line from that measurement to the center of the axle slot).
  3. Repeat step 2 for the other slot. Then continue with step 4.


    4. To Create New Axle Holes

  4. Measure and mark the desired position of the new axle holes on one side of the block. Extend the mark from the bottom of the block to the top of the block using a square (or measure and mark near the bottom of the block and near the top of the block, and then join the line with a pencil and ruler). Holes for extended wheelbases are typically positioned 5/8” from the end of the block.
  5. Repeat step 2 for the other end of the block. Then continue with step 4


    6. Position the Tool

  6. Position the tool on the bottom of the car with the two ‘ears’ on the sides of the block. Align the index mark on the tool with the line corresponding to the rear axle slot or hole on the block. Clamp the tool in place.
  7. Hold the block firmly, position the drill bit in the hole, and slowly drill ¾” into the block.
  8. Without releasing the clamp, turn the tool and block over, and drill the second hole.
  9. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for the front 2 holes. If a raised hole is desired, drill only one of the front holes (either one) and proceed to step


    Drill a Raised Hole

  10. Transfer the line on the side of the block to the bottom of the block.
  11. Position the tool on the desired side of the block, and align the index mark on the tool with the line on the bottom of the block. Make sure that the third hole on the tool is positioned near the bottom of the block.
  12. Clamp the tool in place and drill the raised hole.
