Hey Guys
I just dropped tub on frame (frame is on wheels and tires, on level ground). Added two rubber TRF shims to each outrigger and used required aluminum spacers and rubber shims at front and back. Tightened all bolts and nuts. Some questions.
On one side, I have half inch gap between floor pan and inner sill top. If I crank it down, it pulls very hard on the floor pan. Do I just custom shim that to fill the gap between bottom of pan and top of inner sill? (I don't know what the correct term for this portion of inner sill is - it is the portion that sits upon the chassis outrigger). Perhaps this was an error when I fitted new floor pans but now I need to deal with it.
Fit PS front wing and door. Door doesn't fit. It was always very tight but now is way too tight?
So, do I just remove tub, add two more shims to each outrigger, and retighten all? I suppose that would elevate middle of body and pull down on back end, possibly opening door gaps.
Also, holes don't line up well where hole is provided above floor pan in rear where you need to remove shock mounting bolt. Is it not uncommon that those holes don't line up with shock mount. I suppose I can always redrill and oversize these holes and find larger diameter grommet.
Thoughts and suggestions most appreciated. Photos to follow.
Need to test fit all panels before body comes off for body work and paint.
