The correct screws for your Scaleauto Body Floating system
When working with the Scaleauto Body Floating system, every component matters. The 3mm M2 Screw Kit (SC-5129A) is the screw set specifically designed for this mounting system, ensuring that the body is securely held in place, with the right amount of play and without interfering with the floating movement that characterises this solution.
Function and features
The Scaleauto Body Floating system allows the body to move independently of the chassis, improving cornering stability by keeping the centre of gravity low and constant. For this system to function correctly, the screws must have the exact measurements: in this case, M2 metric with a length of 3mm.
- Metric: M2
- Length: 3mm
- Compatibility: Scaleauto Body Floating System
- Manufacturer: Scaleauto (ref. SC-5129A)
Assembly and preparation
Using screws of incorrect measurements in the Body Floating system can compromise the free movement of the body or cause unwanted play. Having the factory screws, with the correct length and thread pitch, is the simplest way to ensure a clean and functional assembly from the outset.
This kit is particularly useful when frequently changing bodies, when an original screw is lost during maintenance, or when preparing several cars with the same system and needing spare parts on hand.
Common mistakes
One of the most common failures when assembling the Body Floating is replacing the original screws with "similar" ones of similar measurements. A difference of tenths of a millimetre in length can prevent the free movement of the body or, conversely, create excessive play that negates the advantages of the system. Always using the specific screws from Scaleauto is the best guarantee that the assembly functions as designed.
