rubber packing between body and chassis
Discussion
Hi
I'll be putting the body back on the chassis this coming week. It has been a couple of years since it came off and I don't have all the rubber - I always intended to fit new - where (and how much) does the packing go?
some places are obvious but I don't know the thickness - how is it worked out?

When I did mine I found that like everything TVR nothing was standard. I used the originals as a guide to thickness and then had to add and subtract as required to get body sitting level and door shuts as even as possible. Mine were pieces of rubber glued together. I would suggest if you have a mount for just one side use that as a starting point make the one the other side the same and then test and adjust from there.
I`ve just put my body back on, yesterday and turned the key 
God I missed that sound. Right, body rubbers, two at the front of each outrigger, two level with the seatbelt stalks on the lower main chassis member, two at each seatbelt reel mounts, two on the top rear chassis rail just in front of the tank, two on top of the tank cradle, these are for the boot bolts, also rubber strips on the tank cradle where it meets the tank itself, I think that`s it 
Oh, check the gap between the tank and the diff monunt, mine was close, so I`ve added a rubber strip to that too

My rubber is 1/4 inch thick, I`ve got the outrigger just in view and that leaves a nice gap above it to clean in the future But I`ve got to set up the bonnet catches again 
Waiting for the funnies about my rubber thickness
That is a good idea ! With reference to thick rubber... My dad said you can never be too carefull, But I`ve got to set up the bonnet catches again Waiting for the funnies about my rubber thickness
