I guess the foam will have a fair amount of play in it so "resting on it" could actually mean lots of things from just about touching it to crushing it completely, so I guess its worth having. |
I found that by jacking and packing under the body floor I could get the mojority of holes cock on - particularly the ones on the front bulkhead.
However - disaster struck when the threaded insert on the offside front bulkhead mount became detached from the mount!!
Fortunately I found that by jacking thebody up 9 inches at the front and 12 at the back I could roll the chassis forward just far enough to undo the mount with a spanner and withdraw it. Close inspection showed it to be slightly deformed and the crimp wasn't formed correctly (rivnut type affair)
So currently sat waiting for a replacement mount from GD. 624 days to date so a couple more is neither here nor there I suppose.
Not a good day, but at least i didn't have to re-assemble the troops the lift the body off.
