i just finished up installing kadees on all the tyco/bachman stock i have. takes more time to do and the hardest part would be getting the placement of the coupler rght before glue dries. might help some but a few pics of how i did all my bachman/tyco truck mounted couplers.also i used kadee #5's first i assemble the coupler in the provided coupler boxes then glued them to the bottom of the car centered [img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cf32b3127cce9b10ba306ce600000016108AZtm7Nw5Yt1[/img] then i cut the truck mounted coupler assembly off the truck as far back needed so there is no touching the new coupler box [img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cf32b3127cce9b10ba33edd500000016108AZtm7Nw5Yt1[/img] after that i snap the truck back onto the car and check the coupler hieght 99.8% i manage to be right on the height. if the coupler comes out to high cut a piece of styrene and redo the glueing process repeat step till couple is right hieght. If they come out to low i have no clue how to raise the car to get a good hieght for the coupler unless you manage to screw the truck into place then u could use tiny washers.
