Rob,

Rebel is spot on regarding the manner in which the RMC tub sits on the chassis. I found that the securing bolts around the front and rear of the vehicle pulled the body down tight, whereas the mounting bolts along the chassis under the drivers compartment sat up , sometimes as high as 5mm. I even had to purchase longer bolts so they could reach.

I don't think it's the fault of RMC, as in my case, I removed the body from the chassis and baked it in the summer son for a couple of weeks tio condition the gel-coat. Some days it was over 40 degrees. No doubt this 'baking' tended to slightly alter the shape of the body shell.

As I hate any type of squeak or rattle in my cars, I placed spacers throughout the body.

I don't think that the engineer you spoke to was stating a Regulation Requirement, but simply advising you of something which he knows would please you in the long run and something that would be relatively easy to fix now, but a bugger to do further down the track.

Do yourself a favour and fit the spacers throughout the car.
