subseauk Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi all just in the process of fitting a new tub on the 90 and looking for advice on what rubber insulators goes where if any, ie between tub and chassis. There were a few well worn bits that fell out whilst removing old tub before i got chance to see where they came from. Anyone replaced a tub before with advice photos etc would be a big help.

simonb Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Use the rubber pads to ensure the tub lines up height wise with the rear cross member tabs and the curve of the doors. You may or may not need them depending how flat the underside of your tub is and chassis build tolerances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subseauk Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Cheers Simon I take it the rubber is not needed to keep tub and chassis apart then, just to help line up holes!! If needed then would the rubber not be needed at all touching points to give full support ? thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 the rubber is for noise / vibration as well, you just need 6mm rubber sheet and cut to fit, I would definately use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Insulation between the chassis and body will also help reduce the occurence of electrolytic corrosion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have just reconditioned my 110 tub. There is a rubber pad on each end of the strengthening members which line up with each of the supports on the chassis (12 of them on the 110). Each rubber pad is about 4x6 cm and fixed to the members with 2 split rivet type thingies. I removed mine to galvanise the members and invariable all the rivets broke. I simply replaced them using normal pop rivets. Suitable replacements could be made up from a piece of conveyor belting or similar very dense rubber matting. They would need riveting on or gluing with sikaflex or similar to stop them falling out. Definitely use them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
