Good morning....This is how I installed the Kadee couplers. MTH did such a nice job of minimizing the gap between swinging pilot and frame I thought I would keep that feature, normally I fix my pilots. I used and old claw coupler, just the bottom steel piece with the round button on it and cut that off and drilled a new mounting hole for the Kadee, mounting the Kadee on the top side. Hope the photos explain everything better than I. Going this route I can convert back to electric claws. Had to really tighten the mount to the truck to keep it from moving, I also put some blue lock tight on the mount and all screws.
