I've been searching trying to find an exploded pic that shows the parts that mount the body to the beam on a june 52.
obviously 2 bolts and 2 thick pads between the body and beam but is there any plate under the bolt head or just a washer? any upper rubber pad between the bolt head and body?
thanks in advance,
pip.

There is a rectangular plate about 1 inch by 1 1/2 inches that goes between the bolt head and the body. I'd use a washer between those.

No upper pads for June '52, just a washer under the bolt. The recangular plate is spot welded to body.

For Oct 1950, is a rubber pad used between body and beam? what bolt/washer/pad combination is used? I'm now at this stage, and parts diagrams and posts haven't made it clear for me. I have seen rubber pads listed for 1946 - ?? from some advertisers, but they don't seem to agree with posted information. (my separation of body from pan was back in the 80's & some of the details have been forgotten or lost)

Thanks for any clarification anyone can offer.

Yes, there should been always rubber pads between body and front beam.

Thanks, Mika.
Same thickness as rear pads? I haven't found a source for front pads, but I can make some if I know what thickness they are.

That link gave the answers I needed - pics & measurements. My searches never gave me that one.
Again, many thanks!
