!Tools Required to build our kits & conversion kits Our kits can be made using a selection of craft hand tools. The only power tool required is a cutting disc which is an option for cutting proprietary coach sides.
This is not intended to be a definitive or exhaustive list but it does cover the items that I use myself when building Silver Fox kits & conversions.
Not all tools are required for all kits, please see the instructions for individual kits. Other makes of tool are available, I have simply referred to the brands that I have found to be effective myself.
Safety First
Work in a well lit, dust free, well ventilated, uncluttered area Blades and saws need to be razor sharp but be mindful of risks of cuts When using solvent based glues ensure work area is well ventilated Use primer car spray outdoors (but not when it's raining !)
