Mounting
WARNING!
Do not notch frame rail flanges to force a U–bolt fit. Notched or damaged frame flanges could re-
sult in premature frame failure. Use a larger size U–bolt. Use a hardwood spacer as shown in Fig-
ure 5-9.
REAR BODY MOUNT
When U–bolts are used to mount a body, we recommend that the last body attachment be made with a “fishplate” bracket.
See Figure 5-11. This provides a firm attaching point and helps prevent any relative fore or aft movement between the
body and frame.
