Two other notes regarding the aluminum body shims. After placing the tub on
and tightening the body bolts make sure every thing is level. I ended up
making others to properly shim the body.
Second, the spacers should be painted as aluminum reacts with steel. Even
though the body and frame are painted and help to prevent this chemical
reaction as a precautionary measure the spacers should also be painted.
