Hello, dear friends!

Two months ago I started fixing my rust bucket since the rust level was very high. Now, after finishing the welding and painting and wax coating the chassis and the body I need to assembly everything back. The problem I have is that I don't remember the corect order of the rubber parts that goes between chassis and the body. Also, some of the rubber parts had some metal washers that were so rusted that I literarly could not recover. Can anyone help me with some pictures or some video of the right way of installing those rubber parts and the washers?

Also I would like to apology for my not so good English! 

Thank You very much!

Dear Martin,

Thank You very much for the reply!

I also found this schematic on my part dealer but I still can't figure it out with those very rusted metal washers I had. The washers were placed above number 3 part, right under the body and above the rubber part. Is that normal or some one placed it there?

Should I make new washers to replace the rusted ones or should I put the body right on the number 3 rubber part?

Thank You very much for your assistance!
