Marathon body panels

[jwdixon]

Have an opportunity to check out a couple of parts carts this coming weekend. I was wondering if the nose piece, fenders etc. just bolt/screw to the frame. Are they relatively easy to remove and replace on the marathon carts? Mine is an 84, metal body.

there's a sticky in the electric ezgo section about removing the cowl for a marathon. the saddles on the back just have press-in studs. the cowl is relatively easy with 2 people and the saddles on the back are a pain. i just wound up breaking the studs.

I'm assuming you can still buy the press in studs?

not sure i just threw mine out abd bondo'd the holes

i took mine out, welded the holes up, and then drilled seperate holes, replaced pop ins with carriage head 3/8 bolts, to dress it up

Are they press in studs? Kinda been trying to work through this issue myself. My original studs show a little different off color at the base where they would press in and leads me to believe they may also be soldered in as well? Sorry if I'm jacking the thread, but your earlier comment struck a current chord.

Seeing the OP was many months ago, I'm going to assume all questions have been answered. I agree with Jonny; sticky in electric forum and 2 people eases the awkwardness when removing the front.
