You posted under "For Sale"-it cant be that bad..
Mounting the tub can only be described as a pain in the
nether-regions. A couple of pals to push, pull, scoot and
tweak are a great help. As for cushions i had various thickness
of fibre reinforced rubber beltiing that we use here on the
farm. Cut out rectangles of proper size and drilled them for
the thru bolts. Used them in effect as shims-adding and
subtracting them as needed. Tighten no bolts till you're
satisfied with fit. Be prepared to cuss when you start to
mount your front fenders and hood-more tub adjustment
will probably be reqd. Take your time-you'll get there.
keep 'em rollin'
