On MY 31 Victoria with one round rubber body mount pad under the cowl mounts the remaining body mount locations have a space about twice that thickness. Do I put the rectangular rubber pads against the wood subfloor and then use round rubber shims under those on top of the splash shields and body mount brackets or do I use more of the rectangular rubber pads? The doors line up perfectly so I just want to fill the space to tighten all the mounting bolts evenly.

If you pull it down does it throw the doors off? Was the frame straight?3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Art, I was in the same situation as you in the past for body mount pads. At first I bought the pad kit and then realized when I took them out of the package they had no reinforcement in the rubber like my originals had. I looked online again for pads but decided to get some pad material at the hardware store, found mine at OSH hardware. They called it vacuum diaphragm something or other. Anyway it was available in 1/16" and 1/8" thickness and have the cloth reinforcement. I cut all of them matching them to the thickness of my original pads. I also used some for my radiator. Everything aligns perfect now, doors and hood.
