[TR] Mounting TR3A Tub on Frame (Third Try-the message gets scrubbed)

[Andrew Uprichard]

Joe:

The tub is meant to rest on the PADS atop the outriggers, but in other areas
(in the engine compartment, for example), there is a gap between the tub and
the STRIPS.

Regarding the pads on the outriggers, the number will be determined by how
the gaps are when you install the doors and fenders - and so it involves a
certain amount of trial and error in getting it just right.

I am in the process of securing the tub (newly painted) to the restored
frame of a TR3A. In a trial fit I find that the stack of four rubber
mounting pads on the outriggers that are recommended as a starting point for
truing up the body leave the car floor pans well above the frame. My
question is this, are the floor pans supposed to rest directly on the rubber
strips atop the fram3, or is there supposed to be a gap. The former makes
most sense to me, but in order to get that to happen, I think I would be
down to 1 pad on at least one of the outriggers. Any
