Begining to unbolt the body from the chassis.

So the next step is to begin to unbolt the chassis. After asking around on various news groups I was pointed to the Moss/Rimmer catalogue for a diagram which shows all the attachment points between chassis an body.
However this diagram is not perfect as some attachments (most importantly the seatbelt anchor bolts) are missing and as the picture only shows the chassis you still need to find the positions in the body.

So I thought I would photograph as far as possible the mounting points.


1) Next to the radiator
2) By the front wheel arch (opposite the distributor)
3) Foor by the A post
4) In the footwell by the fire wall (no picture as my car didn't have this bolt in the floor, although the bolt and spacer was present in the chassis it looks like it was cut when the new floor was installed and was so rusted into the chassis it was left.!)
5) Floor by the sill in the middle of the door aperture
6) Floor by the hand brake
7) Floor (Dash support)
8) Seat belt stalk
9) Parcel shelf? behind the seats

Luckily for me all the bolts came out easily, although  (2) was tight so had to coat in home made "bolt-eaze" (10% Acetone 90% Automatic transmission fluid).
