Great way to mount. Never thought of soldering iron. I've always drilled with a counter sink bit and there is way too much room for error. Your method looks to eliminate the error factor. Great process! Thanks for the video.
Here's A Tip From A Guy Who Ran Slots In About 1967 to 1977 And Is Doing It Again. My Dad Joined Our Older Aurora HO Slot Car Track to Aurora AFX Track by Using A Short Piece of 1/4 Plywood with Two Slots Made On A Table Saw That Lined Up Perfectly with Each Piece of Track . About 6" long Just Put Them At The Middle of The Longest Straights and the Speed of the Cars Will Slide Them Through! ! You Need Just Two pieces Cut . Put One At Both Ends of Joining Track Pieces! So Basically Both Pieces At Both Ends of The Different Track .
The old Aurora track was better than the new AFX track that I have now. Like you said it had counter sunk holes already in. And the new AFX 15" straights are bowed in the middle and the rails aren't straight either. It's a shame that with the technology of today AFX can't make a better track.. I had an old Rokar set back in the early 90s and I didn't have to screw down 1 piece of it. I can't remember what track it was, but it too was better than the AFX track that I have now.. One more thing, the AFX track is so loud!! Good video. I counter sink the holes with a drill bit, but I might try this on an old piece and see how I like it?? Thanks for the info
They can make a better track, they won't, they made shit in the 70s under a different strategy then they do now. Now it's make it as cheap as possible and then sell it for as much as possible. Where the og track was waaay thicker/ more material then the new stuff.
Awesome I found your account again! This is the NotaNova that sent you the Caddillacs for the flower car conversion. My Facebook account went down and I lost my password so I haven't been able to get on it for a LONG time. How did things end up with the flood? Do you still have the hearse? How's Mezzy and the rest of the group? Thanks again for the Nova body

We see a way of doing something in a new way and we think "That's easy." But the man who thought of it in the first place is a Genius!
man hole cover, nice touch....... very clever, i used te same method on my clack tracks too, on routed tracks i drill and counter sink, great vid
Thank you. I just did this to my scalextric track after watching your video.
The manhole is a awesome idea !

@@dale5322 Yeah, that's the problem with how they make stuff now a days..
Rokar track was Rokar brand. Later purchased by Lifelike. Then became Lifelike brand.
Excellent tip.
