Fiberglass bodies

[Tcb3078]

For those who have one, specifically the terra comp, did you notice the middle body/tub mount as being significantly smaller that the other 2 sets?

I went to out my 2in body lift in and noticed the middle picks need to be 1 inch vs the others die to the cross member in there.

Body lifts are designed to replace a standard/production element. Once something is no longer standard replacement parts may/probably will not fit. You need to lift the body equally at each point.

I have a fiberglass body. Came with worn out one inch lift. I must explain the original builder glassed in the roadster kit front to rear, no seams. Not saying it's great, just the facts. My front and back were correct but the middle were shorter.
Not sure what you are doing. But if you are adding lift blocks, you have to alter the height like what you are replacing. (example: middle blocks are shorter, you have to cut the middle new bocks down the amount between the original front and middle blocks). Everything has to come up the same amount.

Thanks. I assume they were similar. Thought it was weird the middle was out of line.

TCB3078,

I do not have a Terra Comp tub, but a Bronco Design one and did not have issues with the body mounts and lift pucks. Hopefully someone else with a Terra Comp tub will respond. Best of luck on this one.

v/r,

Ditto on the bronco design part. Body lift fit with no issue.

I have a Mallotte body...now Terra comp. I got it about 28 years ago and the mounts were all the same. The body is now highly modified and no longer uses stock style mounts.

Thanks for your responses. I called TC directly. They stated the middle mounts need to be adjusted.
