It's been a long time since I've been on and a long time since I've made any progress on TF-2259. But progress is beginning again and I'm close to getting the tub back on the chassis. I've been searching Moss and Abingdon Spares for into on the rubber pads at the mounting points and haven't found any reference. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Some people don't use anything. Some use some form of rubber. Most I think cut some pads from some old linolieum tile. I cut the last ones I did from some pvc flooring.

I have seen cars with roofing felt, which has the unfortunate chaacteristsic of absorbing and holding water - definhitely NOT what you want, when you have a metal joint.

I use rubber, linoleum, or whatever similar I have lying around, building it up until it is the right height to level the tub so the doors open and close nicely..
