Greetings from a slightly cooler Texas; it's only 96 this afternoon!
I am changing out the body mount bolts and possibly the shims as well on my '60.
A few questions come to mind.
First, the two inboard rear (cockpit) bolts had fiberglass discs (washers) (pic attached) on them. Are these supposed to be there? Should they be on all of the cockpit body-mount bolts? The bolt you see is a "temp".
Second, the floor pan appears to sit about 1/2 to 5/8" above the frame as shimmed at present. I only found one of the rubber cushions and the floor pan sits about 1/4" above that.
My gut says re-shim it as is and let well enough alone.
Any info you might have about those fiberglass "washers" and pitfalls I might hit on replacing the shims will be appreciated.
Thanks!
