there should be two at the front and two at the cross member, the two pads at the cross member is by the joint... I'm sure with this because I documented them when I clean my frame. I also have the measurement of the pads if you needed let me know. hope that help.

Ben

Hey Ben,

The actual measurements would be great. Send 'em along please? Thanks.

Steve

I have it at home and I will get it to you tommorrow... I'm at work now.

Ben

Great! Thanks.

Steve

Okay, I put a page up on the main site for the body pad locations. When Ben gets me the measurements I will add them. Thanks for helping me out here.

Opening an old wound here.....
The above link does not work, was this ever updated?
Has anybody decided on a "perfect" material to use as a replacement for the rust rags?

This post was pre-tech wiki. I updated the link in the above post so it works now. If I do NOT know it is broke I cannot fix it.

I think the material I used on mine was the "perfect" material. It was a piece of closed cell foam, industrial grade. I still have a large portion of a sheet, if you want it. I could send you a sample if you would like. Very rugged material.

Yes, that would be great, my roadster had a frame-off resto before I got it, and they kept it original, putting the what looks like carpet/horsehair back!
So as I contemplate yet another frame-off for paint - I want to put the rigtht thing back in! Let me know what you need for this! ($)

I am sure there is something funny I could write here - but it just ain't flowing!

I don't want anything for it. PM me your address, and I will send a sample.

Hi Steve:
I think that the picture is still lacking the pads that go near the front - did anybody ever come across withthe locations of those? On mine theare really close to the end of the frame IIRC. I canmaybe get a picture and measuremetn this evening - if it is right on mine - which is doubtful as again it has had a frame off in the past.

I do not recall any frame pads on the front. There are rubber bits similar to the ones on the mounting brackets with a hole in the middle for the mounting bolts. Pretty sure all of the old horse hair pads are identified on the drawing. I could be wrong and will correct it if that is the case. I think Ross was selling the new rubber bits for the frame mounts at one time. I made my own out of a thinner commercial grade neopreme I used for my new frame pads. I had a hole punch at work that came in real handy for those. Let me know what you discover.
