Which C1 shims get used where?

[Mike G.]

In this kit from Mary Jo, there are two types of shims supplied: metal ones and composite cardboardish ones. When do I use metal and when do I use the composite ones? Thanks!

Mike -

The metal ones go where the body bolts are, and the composite ones glue to the top of the frame "X"-member so the floor doesn't rattle against the frame.

Re: Which C1 shims get used where?

I think when Mike says the cardboard ones, aren't those the flat square ones with the holes in them? Those would go one at each body bolt point. Then the metal shims are used as needed to take up tolerances at each bolt. The ribbed extruded rubber ones are the ones that get glued on the X. ...or at least that's how I understood Mike's question. -k

Yep, that's what I meant

The rubber ones I had figured out. So it sounds like I'm looking at one "cardboard" one at each bolt point (10 points in all) and then additional metal ones at each point as needed. Thanks guys!

Karl, you've got it - I thought he was referring to the ribbed ones when he said "composite"
