I use short bits of filament to locate sole bar to floor. Holes may have to be drilled to size to fit, as will holes for the Springs (2mm) and steps.

I re-scaled this to 10mm/ft to match the rest of my stock, I printed it in PETG after I had discovered the unsatisfactory performance of PLA on another vehicle when exposed to UK summer sun. I had some difficulties getting the roof to print satisfactorily, but got there in the end. I found that printing on end was best !. It took me a long time to paint this as they were made of Teak and its difficult to get a satisfactory representation. It was  also quite difficult to get the "Parcel Fruit  and Milk Van" lettering to fit satisfactorily, not that that is any reflection of the design of the van parts, just something to bear in mind if you are going to paint and letter it. I am pleased with the end result..
