Reg,
John Kipping or Rimmer Brothers (UK) have components or kits for mounting
the body (according to their catalogs). I'm located in Florida, USA, but
have found them to be good resources for parts on my Herald, Sports 6, and
Spitfire. Often the prices are so much cheaper than US companies that it
offsets the shipping cost. They also have things not available in the US
(particularly for Sports 6 cars). Of the two companies I prefer Kipping, but
use both at times. They both have good catalogs and decent web sites.

<So I thought in preparation I would obtain a "body mounting kit" from
the suppliers - turns out they don't exist for a spit. I hoped to get
all new bolts/hardware and some shims (the all important shims the books
say to label and count so the body goes on reasonably not crooked) as
well as the rubber grommet thingys that go between the body and the
frame; all in a nice "kit" form.... no luck.
So does anybody have advice on creating the parts? What to make new
shims from? And the rubber grommets - I've had suggestions ranging
from using old pieces of inner tube/tires, tupperware, etc. - and I'd
like a second opinion or two from one who has "been there/done that"->
