HELP! Body mounting on a 64 roadster...

[Andrew P.]

Hi All...

I recently received a convertible body mount kit from ecklers for my 64 (late). It had the mounts marked in bags for mount locations:
RadSupport #1 #2 #3 #4 and inboard.

The RadSupport is fine.

The inboard is fine except the assembly manual (D124) shows a corner-brace rather than the bracket I actually have and a nut/bolt assy rather than the built-in nut I have (the ecklers kit had the right parts though).

#2 appears fine as shims, bolt, washer.

#4 appears fine as 2x rubber cushions w/washer/bolt/shims.

#1: The ecklers bag contained a thick steel spacer with nut bolt washer shims. This would agree with Assy Man page D125. HOWEVER, the hole in #1 is the same size hole as in #4 (big). I then found page D123 which shows #1 as a cushion assy which would appear more correct.

Which then leaves #3: The only bag I have left is what was marked for #1 which is the thick steel spacer, shims, nut, washer and bolt. This conflicts with Assy Man page D124 which clearly shows "cushion assy"

I've xref'd nolan adams assy and shim paper and the tripoli CRG and have no answers to this.

Help!!!

Thanks

Andrew -

Coupes use rubber cushion mounts at the #1 mount, convertibles use the thick steel spacer. Coupe #1 mounting is shown in UPC 1-Mounting, sheet 1.00, and Convertible #1 mounting is shown on sheet 3.00.

Note that sheet 1.00 shows "Models: 837" (coupe body style number) in the title block, and sheet 3.00 shows "Models: 867" (convertible body style number) in the title block.

Hi John.

Got it but the hole in the #1 is large and the washer is insufficient to properly cover it. Larger washer?
