[Rob. Smith]

G'Day folks,
My little project is progressing along ok, but it has been mentioned by my engineer that I should have a "gasket" between the body and the chassis.
In my enthusiasm I have cut out these "gaskets" from silicone rubber which doesn't compress. They are dove tail interlocked and will be glued to the chassis with a similar silicone compound. The doubt has arisen...do I really need these "gaskets" ? Has anyone else done this ? Does anyone with a separate body / chassis set-up have any problem with body squeaks ?
I have a second thought that unless the body is a perfect fit. The "gasket" would let the body move around and lead to stress fatigue in the fibreglass around the mounting bolts. After this little rant I'm pretty well convinced that I don't need to fit the "gaskets" but I'm curious to any one else's opinion.
What do you think ?
Smithy.
