Fitting Pickups to R6921 20 Ton Brake Van (Toad)

[Jon Harbour]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

 

I'm planning to fit the DCC Concepts brake van lights to this model and have come up against a big of a snag.

 

The pickups themselves are no issue - they can be glued in place to press wipers against the wheels. My issue is actually getting wires through to the cab in order to fit the lighting circuitry. I got the roof off the model, but I couldn't find a way past the metal weight for the wiring.

 

 

 

I tried drilling through from the internal floor to try and provide a hole to pass the wire through, but there appears to be a metal weight that fills the entire cabin width. It doesn't look like the body can be removed to free up the weight, so I'm kind of at a loss.... any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jon
