This post was prompted by Michael Hanson's very interesting pictures of the measuring jig used in production (thanks Michael).
I purchased my car in a state of substantial dis-assembly from the previous owner who gave up on the restoration a few years into it. When I took possession, the body was still on but all of the bolts and shims were out, and unmarked of course. Moreover, the shim markings were obliterated by surface rust on the frame.
I'm looking forward to a body drop sometime in June or July. Can anyone suggest a reasonable method for determining how many shims are required at each mount? Thanks in advance.
