Hi ALL -- OK, I will twll you what I did..,
I mounted Kadee 802/808's by drilling two pilot holes sized for the standard Kadee mounting screws using the coupler box as a guide. I put the coupler box upper lip tight against the car end sill when doing this. The two holes were for the center / foreward hole and the rear hole of the coupler box. I used the Kadee short mounting screws to put it all together. NO painting or fitting or other shenanigans required. I regularly run these cars in 30+ car trains on 2% grades without any trouble. EASY!
