Just a couple of things to help me not lose body pins and to help pull the battery strap pins out easier. I printed them out of TPU and as much as I like the body pin straps, the battery pin tabs make inserting and removing the battery strap pins so much easier.

For the front strap, I melted a hole along the center line of the body with my soldering iron so it wouldn't crack like it would of you tried to cut the hole. I used a 3mm screw, washer and nut to hold the strap in.

For the rear strap, I just used the center screw for the spoiler.

The tabs were a bit difficult, because the hole is probably a bit small, so I used needle nosed pliers and had to wiggle the pin back and forth and really push to get it to go through, but once in, it is so easy to insert and remove the pins now.
