 |
|
Hi,
I'm now at the point where I have to bolt the wooden body back to the steel chassis. Being wood I will obviously have to replace the packing to true things up, but what's the best method??
My plan was to do the following:
1) Pack the body so that it is level on the chassis
2) Refit the doors and adjust the packing to get correctly opening doors/gaps
3) Bolt down and check
Is this the right way?? |
