Yep your right about the amount of screws left and I have checked through them all the problem is the plastic front frame that bolts to the chassis on the front of the car unless the screws are jamming up on something which I have checked because you can push down on the 2 bits and they join with no gaps but the piece of plastic the screws go into is thicker than the screw length and that's using the Type A's as instructed are a least 2-3mm too short
As I said the body will fit down as required but you can't anchor it cause there's no thread showing the only thing I haven't tried is opening up the bottom of the holes on the plastic bottom to make a socket so to speak so the locating lugs in the chassis are moved closer to the join therby giving me the nesscceary extra thread but I'm trying to avoid that I already have a cracked chrome windscreen surround and bent bonnet support strut from trying to force the screws to fit but they are just not long enough
