Hi Bob

Sorry I missed you first post. What dimensions do you need? As I understand it you need the width, thickness, and length of the shim.

Cheers Phil

Not having ever seen one mounted on a chassis this is difficult. What I can tell you is the Ford No9 just has fibre packers at the mounting points, no wood rails at all. But because the No6 wasn't an integrated body it may well have used them. Don't have immediate access to pics but I think it's worth looking to see whether the top of the cab door and crew doors line up (as they do on the No8 and 9 tractors. That may give you the clue.

Hi Bob,
My #6 tractor had a non orginal tray fitted with 50 mm strips under but no idea what was there originally.

Looking at a photo I have the doors do not line up and the rear #6 body sits the thickness of the sill below the crew door above the chassis. I cannot post the photos I have as they are not mine and I promised not to put them online but if you want a copy Bob on the understanding they are not to be published I'll email you a copy.
