I should say i used one on each side, I'll take them out. There is only one rubber on each side of the tunnel mount points. On the edge where the outrigger meets the bulk head, i have Outrigger then rubber strip, bulkhead lip, another rubber seal then back tub.. it appears a bit thick. Thanks again for your help Bill, when i get this sorted hopefully you'll that Windscreen seal instock.

I went for a single rubber space to start on all mount points and have added washers as needed. The only place I put two rubbers where I am not sure if they should be there is either side of the hand brake mount under the U pieces which go down to the chassis rails.

Thanks for the reply Bill. Think I need two new hinges which doesn't help. Don't think the door is yo low but I will check. The tunnel bolts are pretty central.

Adjusted the quarter light. I now have a gap as shown, which I am happy with so don't think the door needs moving forward. I took a couple of washers from under the bulkhead too. I have no more adjustment on the body to move it. I need to close that gap at the top, of the B post and door. The bottom is fine. I am going to take out the rubber washers from the tub mounts. Clearly the amount of spacers on top of the rear out rigger is getting daft! I am concerned that out riggers are in the wrong place. The ones which were on there on arrival were badly patched and worn so i couldn't use them as a reference. Ideas are really appreciated.

The Quarter light does appear tilted forward, i'll adjust. The bonnet problem i think may be due to the hoop being bent. The car suffered a shunt on the front O/S where i am having the problems, the front of the outrigger had to be pulled out to get it equal with the other side. I am thinking perhaps the hoop U bend near to the bonnet attachment is narrowed due to the and this would mean the bonnet is pulled forward. As to the rear who knows! I'll try to get some measurements.

OK back home from holiday and time to have a fiddle. I have inserted a couple more washers under the front bulkhead. I still have the quarter light catching on the window but will shut. You can see how many washers i have used on the rear outrigger.... Anything I am doing wrong here, i suspect a couple more washer will do it. You will also note the bonnet gap is wide but i dont have any more adjustment on the bonnet rod.

I restored a Motorcycle tyres were a no-brainer to replace even at £200 for a pair. The herald will have the same treatment for the flabby cracked tyres on there now

I do know that I replaced them with the thick rubber ones (no metal spacers here)so it could be that but I have already got IMO to many spacers under the rear side location looks like getting the tank out again to get at the bolt heads AH WELL. Midgeman that sounds like it will close a gap at the top not at the bottom which is what Stodders has. I have the gap at the top and wouldnt have thought to pack the rear outrigger, so I will try on my return. I might take of the tub and make the holes in the mounting points a bit bigger to allow for more movement. I brought 20 M8 penny washers from Ebay!

The factory fitted body mounting pads made of rubber impregnated fabric, harder than the modern rubber pads, softer than solid metal spacers. The material is still widely available, pads can be bought in slightly larger sizes than original, Cheers, Bill. Bill do you have them on your site?_

Don't The rubber washers minimise vibrations? Whatever alternative?

It's been body off. 7 outriggers replaced. As the old were all patched and welded I couldn't reliably use them for reference. I used the green manual and measured three times before welding.
