A typical
fi
berglass body is shown with typical body mounts and latches.
Most body karts have front and rear body supports along with some latches to secure the body in place. The supports
have varying sizes of rubber mounts to support the body and are usually adjustable. Mounts should be checked for
damage and the rubber should be replaced to prevent damage to the body. Latches should be checked for any wear
or damage whenever the body is removed. J&J
fi
berglass bodies use some basic systems to attach the body to the kart
frame. Most bodies use the center section of the kart
fl
oor pan as an index for the body location. Early on, the bodies were
mounted directly to the frame, which proved unsatisfactory; vibration would soon cause damage to the mounting holes
and render the system ine
ff
ective. Rubber cushions are now used on all body mount systems to allow isolation of the
body from the frame vibration. Most systems allow minor movement to aid in isolation. Fiberglass bodies are not precise
in production, so any system must provide adjustment to allow for this condition. Most body mounts can be adjusted via
an Allen set screw on the body support (see page 12-2).
