Please, please, please, can someone with a 41 tell me where these steel frame spacers go? When I lifted the body off 2 of these fell on the floor.

They could be steel body mounts instead of rubber. Convertibles had 2 under the front and rear of the door to make the body more rigid. Bill

The only time I have seen spacers like that (on a Merc. frame), they were on the front body mounts and I believe they were used to take up extra space that resulted after all the rest of the rubber spacers were installed and the body was resting on the frame.

Just as a point of information, 49-51 Merc convertibles used only steel body to frame spacers to reduce body/frame flexing.

According to the V8 Album, cars use rubber spacers, convertibles use metal spacers, wagons are not listed, doesn't Van Pelts show some frame info?
