Coupler spacer for Bachmann Li'l Big Hauler cars

thingiverse

This is a spacer designed specifically to lower the height of couplers on Bachmann Li'l Big Hauler cars, enabling them to run smoothly with standard hook and loop cars. To attach it, I utilized an additional self-tapping screw from Bachmann, identical to the one already installed on the car, and reused the factory screw to reattach the coupler to the spacer. To install: 1. Remove the original factory coupler. 2. Position the spacer with its large hole centered near the middle of the car. 3. Screw a small self-tapping screw into the larger, deeper hole in the spacer. 4. Place the original coupler on top and secure it back down using the same screw. 5. The installation is now complete. If you don't have spare screws or prefer to add extra security, consider using super glue to hold the screw in place. Please note that these spacers are designed for a snug fit, so you may need to carefully file down any excess material if they don't slide into position easily.
