Brad got a Piranha kit and it was missing the brakes and heads. I have a kit so I am copying the parts for him. Before I glue the letters down I put a strip of Scotch tape down first and CA glue the letters to it. When I pull the clear plastic sides off the letters will pop right off and stay in the mold. Those Scotts are just gosh darn smart!
The brakes are nice parts. I sanded down to the proper fit a piece of brass rod to form a nice hole. Only use metal for this. Styrene will burn in from the resin kicking to become part of the part and a wood stick won't last long from constant removal from the new part. I will spray the brass rod with mold release for easier removal too.
