Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 over cut the required one then sand it down to the final fit positions mate, the chassis one can be under cut then sanded down to take the new cab from the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 the cab you want to use first cut it out with part of the chassis still on it, once off you can rotate ect it all over to sand of the unwanted bits the chassis part cut the cab out, but leaving to much on the chassis, this way you can file and cut easier with a open hole till the chassis will take the other cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 theres a app for that, doh sorry getting mixed up, yeah dremmel do sanding drums for that, hand file may be easier for the corners mind check at b&q for them, they also do there own brand bits to mind which are cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 after a bit of time looking at the 9150,there are 2 screws on the cab,where the cab roof meets the pillars,as marked in the photo,the scale model quadtrac has not arrived yet,but looks as the cab roof is fixed in the same way,i have got out the floor pan ,steering wheel, etc from the 9150,so it hopefully will be a case of taking out the blackened glass from the quadtrac and put in the floorpan etc and the clear glazing from the 9150,hopefully!!!!!!!!
