body and chassis mounting back details...

[chima]

Hi all, putting back the body and the chassis back but we wanna be sure about some details...

can you please help me about :
- how many connection points does the chassis and body have?
- are the connections made only from the triangular chassis body mounting plates?
- is there supposed to be a plastic mat on the chassis connection points? or a plastic spacer sort of thing ...
- how is the body secured from the inside of the body ? nuts & spacer? ect...

thanks.

Hi,

1 - 28 from memory
2 - noe there are some under the rad, aunder the fuel tank, under the centre console, and there are the seatbelt mounting points too.
3 - rubber mat sits between the angle plates and the body - I am sure someoene will suggest a suitable product in a mo.
4 - its a captive nut on the bottom of the mounting plates so its a bolt and decent spread washer.

No mats on my 1998 Chim, just body straight onto the metal chassis.
