body / chassis fitting
Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:02 am
Did Morris fit the body frame directly on to the chassis rails, or was there any kind of packing in between? I know many vintage cars had a kind of bitumenised woven fabric strip between the wooden body bearers and the steel chassis rails. This was supposed to stop water from pooling there and rotting/rusting the surfaces, yet still have a little flexibility to accommodate body/chassis flexing.
