Dave,
I am reconditioning a very undisturbed 1953 TD. On my car, there appear to
be cork pads about two inches square and 3/16" thick between the tub and the
frame at each bolt around the base of the tub. There are felt strips
between the floorboards and the angle irons along the transmission. There
are 3/4" wide by about 3"long by 1/16" thick cork strips between the angle
irons and the brackets up from the tubular cross brace frame member under
the driveshaft. There are thick (1/4"+)canvas-like textured rubber pads
between the floorboards and the pedal box and around the base of the tubular
under-scuttle brace on each side of the car below and a bit forward of the
door latches. The rubber pads are shown in the MOSS catalog. The cork
looks like "standard" cork sheet gasket material like one used to be able to
buy at auto parts stores back when we had real auto parts stores.

Hello Everyone - I am working on the tub and my question
is about attaching the tub base to the frame. Is there a rubber
pad between the frame and tub base. I don't see anything
listed in Moss or Abingdon Spares. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks - Dave
