retropower Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Internet wisdom says the body mounts are identical between the two but with two chassis next to each other the "bosses" that the body mounts sit on are taller on the discovery, well the rear 4 are anyway. Any thoughts? Trying to work out if I'm missing something or if the boss heights are just dictated by a production jig and the height variation is just making up for variation in the fabrication? Certainly the bosses must be drilled to a jig as the holes vary relative to the boss centres wildly from chassis to chassis!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangover Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Are you talking about the square ones or round ones for the bolts ?, on know the rear square pads near the fuel tank were adjustable on an RRC but not on the D1 and mine dont reach the body anymore.

retropower Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Talking about the round pads with bolt holes. They appear taller on the rear of a discovery which would explain why the square pads don't touch possibly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retropower Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Browsing pics on the net, they appear to vary in height by at least 10mm between one discovery and another !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retropower Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Lol yep! Range Rover body now bolted on, pretty sure there is some height variation compared to the chassis it came off, but also pretty sure no one will ever notice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
