My body has been off the frame for some time now and I didnt take it off so I couldnt have noted which body mounts go where. I got the assembly manual and they have part numbers for each mount but my mounts dont have part numbers. Theres different mounts in my box. Fat,skinny,Thick, big hole, small hole, no sleeve. The only ones im sure about is 2 of the no sleeve ones that go under the doors in the middle.
Can you please tell me which mount goes where or have a better picture than what the manual shows?
I need help soon because the body is going back on the frame tomorrow or the next day.

These are how the bushing went into my 70' velle according to the instructions that came with mine. I double checked with Factory Assembly Manual, and they jived. Core support was the only one I could not verify, and have not got that one installed yet.
My Kit came with 8 Short W/Bolts (Smaller Center Hole), 4 Tall W/Bolts (Larger Center Hole), and 4 that have NO bolts, center sleeves or bolts.
Body Bushings:

Core Support - Short W/Bolt
Location 1 - Convert only (this is location just about 3" inboard of location 2)
Location 2,4,6 - Short W/Bolt
Location 3, 5 - No Bolt Biscuit (location 5 for convert/elky only but can be used on coupe)
Location 7 - Tall W/Bolt
The instructions I had were very unclear on bolt length for each location. If you use the long bolts in the wrong locations (like the location 6 trunk mounts) they will poke through floor. I had plenty of threads on all the above locations with the "short" bolts, so thats what I used. The long bolts may be for the core support.

I went and looked with a tap measure. I have 2 that are 1/8" taller than the 1" ones and the 2 shorter ones are the same height as the 1" ones but go down in the hole farther than the rest.
I also found out that Im missing one of the 1" ones.
All have the same size hole except the shorter ones (the ones that sit lower in the hole) which has a smaller hole than the rest. Im thinking these are the radiator mounts.
