[6pack] Body to frame pads

[Dale]

Bob

If you have done any major body work while off the frame then you may
fine that it will be trial and error especially if you are using new body
spacers.

When re attaching my body, even though I marked where each set went,
I still had to use more shims at the very rear of the body and one less at the
parcel shelf to get the right door alignment.

Body to frame pads

Hi,

I just finished cleaning up the body mounting HW and
was looking at the square 
and trapezoidal  body mounting pads and noticed
that there are steel pads as 
well as the rubber pads. Never encountered this
on my previous 3 and 4 
restorations.

Looking at the TRF parts book, they
list the parts but mention they are used 
as shims for door alignment.

Well
as you might have guessed, I have no idea of how many pads go on each 
side
since I have 3 rectangular (front) pads and only 1 trapezoidal rear pad. 
The
pads were removed last fall and I can't remember which are which.

Will it be
trial and error when I go to install the doors or is there some 
assumption I
can make based on the list's experience?

Don't know if it matters but this is
a late 1972 TR6.

Thanks,

Bob
