TR2/3/3A TR3 body fitting question....

When I removed body, there was one fibrous washer in place, maybe 1/8 inch thick. When I replaced body, I fitted nearly the same using a rubber washer.

I may be corrected, but I think you just want to fit enough washers in this location to support the back of the tub evenly. Make sure the doors fit well, after you fit these washers.

I've never thought to look! The only thing I can say for sure is that it should not touch, or you may have a rattle. I'll get under mine and look next time I have a chance.
