Update: I'm taking advantage of having a few of my CZ cars apart while performing the window upgrade to evaluate the best option for Kadee installation. I'm planning on using the usual 2mm screws but at 12 or 14mm in length with nuts and lock-washers affixed on top to secure the resulting coupler box/shim sandwich to the metal floor. The floor already has well-placed holes that are too big to tap 2mm screws and the Kadee box doesn't accommodate larger diameter screws which is why I'm using bolts/washers. Doing it this way should bring the cars approximately .400 closer. I chose against gluing the plastic shim to the floor bottom and forcing 2mm screws into it as I may want to disassemble it in the future and I prefer a mechanical fix if one is available and within my skill-set. I had to order the longer screws and hope to have them next week. If there's any further interest let me know and I'll be happy to share my results. Chris
Atlas,
Please know that my only criticism here regarding your gorgeous CZ cars is the user unfriendlines one encounters installing Kadee couplers. I believe I speak for others here as well, please give us better options when it comes to couplers.
Thank you,
Chris Cinque
