Spitfire Body Mounting

[Darren Groves]

I'm close to putting the body back on the chassis on my MK4 Spitfire and wondered if at the mounting points circled in red, should there be anything between body & chassis? 

Thanks

In the middle, the body cross-members with bolts HB824P and HB816P, there is nothing between chassis and body.

At the front, bolts HB828 and HU810P, there would normally be spacers, middle right of the bolt kit photo.

At the rear, fit spacers as required. This is easier said than done, of course. You could put a bit of playdough on the chassis at each of the holes, covered with cling film, then lower the body on and lift it back off. Where the playdough isn't fully splatted you need a spacer.
