Yokomo touring car body post markers

Yokomo have introduced their new body hole markers for 6mm touring car body posts. The markers help to easily and conveniently locate the body post positions on both clear and painted bodies. Aluminium tubes are placed on all four body posts and the body is placed onto them with four magnets marking the individual front and rear body post positions that then can be marked using a fine line permanent marker prior to drilling. The strong magnetic force of the magnet prevents the body from moving on the markers for even greater precision and the markers come in sets of four in a convenient carrying case.
