Need Info on Club Car Body Removal

[xiler8d]

I'm doing a customization and rebuild project on a 1998 Club Car DS that I bought and I'd like to either replace the body, or at least remove it for painting and to clean up the frame. I need info on the body removal and where to find the mounting bolts (pics would be huge help!). Thanks again everyone.

It's pretty easy to remove a Club Car Body. Take your time and you'll be fine. Here's a couple diagrams that show all the bolts and mounting points. Let us know if you have any questions.

Nice HRC people sure can't say they don't find or can't get 99% of there questions answered on this forum.

Thanks Nubs!!

Having members that help answer questions is what makes this forum what it is. Without the knowledge of our members this place might have been gone a long time ago...

I needed to swap out a blown motor on my Club Car and googled this thread. The pictures were a great help, Thank you!

You're welcome, glad we could help.

Does that drawing come from a parts diagram? Nearly all of my hardware is rusted/corroded and I need to purchase new hardware. If that drawing does come from a diagram, can you link the parts diagram that references all of the hardware sizes?

By the way, your post is fantastic. Thanks for the help!

What year and model is your cart?
I'll look and see what I have.

I am also undertaking a "rebuild" of my golf cart. I am doing the small work to break down my existing cart, removing the seats for new upholstery, replacing the worn brake and "gas" pads, etc. When the new body and other parts arrive, my local free lance golf cart repair guy is going to pick it up and take it to his shop to change out the body. I ordered the body from Extreme Kartz, a Double Take body kit. I wish I was able to do it myself. My husband is just not that handy. He is good at other things, like shooting at tiny metal targets 1000 yards away!
