Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2020 8:32 pm Post subject: Body Mount #3
I am about to mate my frame and tub and question the hardware.
the body mount hole under the fuel tank, #3 left if reading right, needed a patch, I replaced with sheet metal and drilled a 1/2 inch hole to match 2 and 3 mount holes.
the question is, does the #3 mount under the tank recess in floor board? The ORD-9 calls for a 3/8 x 1" bolt on #3 left compared to 2" right and both go through hat channel. I feel like the tank would rub bolt head. should the bolt hole be drilled larger in sump with bolt head tight to bottom of hat channel?
I hope that makes sense and if there is a diagram or manual I missed Please let me know.
We cannot offer an accurate answer unless you offer us a model ID for your jeep?
If you look at the bottom of this post you will see what jeep and trailer models I have since I listed them in my "Signature Data". This can help but it is still important to always specify exactly which model jeep you are discussing. _________________ Wes K

Note the #3 Lt mount bolt is upside down unlike the other mount bolts that go in from the top and have a nut showing on the bottom.
In this photo of the underside view of the driver's floor you should be able to discern that the LT #3 frame/tub mount hole in the hat channel has a steel weld nut in it just below the Capital yellow D.
Note the list of parts for #3 left tub mount. Bolt, washer and no nut. Also the bolt is a very short 1" long 3/8x24 bolt. _________________ Wes K

It now make sense. I looked at your tub picture in your album and it never dawned on me that driver side was threaded from bottom. I was looking for a pic from the top thinking it was a through hole like the rest.
