[quote user="BigDaddy"] I would say one screw is pretty much like another.  Speaking of screws, here is the bottom of 2 unbuilt kits. A I think is Walthers and B is blue box Athearn, but I may be backwards. <img style="display:inline;" src="http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag32/SirHenry3/Model%20Railroad/coupler%20pockets_zpsb7ewpvd4.jpg" alt="coupler pockets" /> Can I save the center post on A and file down the vertical edges for a Kadee 5 and use a screw and nut to attach the cover? On B, should I file everything flat and drill for a hole or just cut it off and mount the coupler to the bottom of the car body? Henry is there a way to attach my sig automatically?  thanks <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] This product is excellent for upgrading Athearn cars with coupler box screws.  See Bulls Eye Drill Jig <a href="http://www.ppw-aline.com/tools.htm">http://www.ppw-aline.com/tools.htm</a>
