I have a 1930 Briggs Town Sedan (155-D) and am about to mount the body onto the chassis.

What part(s) -- if any -- are to be placed BETWEEN the body and the top surface of the chassis? Many of the vendors' parts catalogs list D WASHERS "to be used with the body bolts." These catalogs do not discuss how use of D WASHERS might vary depending on body style. However, Bratton's 2012 catalog (p. 151) does differentiate, indicating that between 2 and 8 of these D WASHERS are needed, depending on body style.

Most important to me, Bratton's catalog is silent on the use of such washers for my particular car (155-D).

Can anyone guide me on this matter? Are D WASHERS to be used on a Briggs Town Sedan? If so, are they to be placed BETWEEN body and chassis?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
