Cab Mounting

Post by rgus »

I just sat the cab back on it's frame on my WC63 and or the life of me I cant be sure of the bolt patern. I am thinking the springs go on both back and the drivers side front and the bolt on the passenger side front. Is this correct?

Hi Rgus,
The springs go on the two rear mounting bolts and the passengers side mounting bolt, the drivers side is the (5/8" x 18 x 3 1/4") fixed bolt.
Cheers,
Chris.

The reason for the large bolt with no spring being at the drivers side forward position is to stabilise the area where the pedals and steering column come through the floor.
