Body to chassis packing thickness

[Martin Prior]

We very regularly have to play around with chassis to body packing and as Ruairidh has said, "Packing" is the operative word. I doubt that even when new, Austin bodies were anything more than an approximate fit on the chassis. For us, everything is dictated by door and bonnet fit; we pack and tighten down as required to get a perfect fit. There is no "correct" thickness.
