Getting things set to fasten the rear body frame to the body pan. There are two shaped distance pieces that go between the rear frame and the metal rear cross member. A 1/4" diameter hole must be drilled trough the lot to allow a 1/4" coach bolt to be inserted and fastened inside the metal cross member with a nylok nut.
I had to purchase the extra long drill bit to allow me to go through all the pieces that comprise the lower rear attachment of the rear frame. The hole does not go through the parts square to the face but at a slight upward angle as shown in the third picture. The spacer shown is the temporary one I made to check fit before cutting the ash one that will be put in place on final assembly.
I also had the windshield glasses made up in clear laminated 1/4" glass and installed in the frames. The cost was very reasonable considering that they picked up the frame installed the glass and delivered them back to me for $400 CDN. The job was extremely well done.
Cheers,
Stephen
