Can anyone give me any information on how the body is mounted to the frame? The parts manual does not have an illustration showing how the various spacers and pads and shims are arranged. The car that I am restoring has had the body removed and bolted back on hard to the frame with no felts,spacers, or pads. I would guess that the body mountings are very similar on the XK120 and XK140. Any guidance that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hi, I know nothing of old Jaguars , However one of my customers here in the UK is an XK specialist restorer.
Maybe if you emailed them they could offer some advise? The guy who runs it has done this all his life.

I can second the suggestion, they're one of the best.
