Body to chassis


Recommended Posts

Hi All

At long last I`m about to mate the body tub to the chassis, both are straight and unmolested so it should be straightforward - pause for laughter!

I`ve ordered a body fitting kit from the TR Shop but am confused as to what shims etc. to use initially.

My understanding is that the slotted alloy shims are used to correct door gaps - is that correct?

I`d be grateful for any help or guidance on this.

Cheers Neil

This has come up quite a few times on the forum and there are many topics on it if you search. the alloy shims for fitting the body to the chassis are not slotted. They have holes.

The alloy spacers are slotted and if you have the Moss parts book it does show you the nominal amount of shims that are fitted in each position. You should not use the shims to alter the gaps as you will cause problems elsewhere hence when re-building a shell you should have it levelled to and bolted down to the chassis that it is going to be mounted on and the gaps corrected then.
