Default Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
Hello.
On a 35/36’ Coupe , the bumper brackets bolt on the corner of the frame.
Then set body down on frame .
A 3/8” - 24 body mount bolt goes up through this bracket.
Approx how thick is the pad that goes between body and bracket ?
T/Y

There are some photos below of the corner brackets. Between the body and the corner brackets, at the rear, on the 35, are square washers with a hole for the bumper arm bolt. The amount of these washers depends upon the distance between the brackets and the body. Usually a couple.

Could you post the part number & vendor for those pads ? Can't read the diagrams when I enlarge the pic.
Thanks,
Bob

Unfortunately today I posted here in our “Parts Wanted” section.
The metal channel that goes in Roof insert area.
Weird that is missing on our 3W coupe.
