Another Body Mount question!

I bought a complete mount kit. Supposed to be "like original"--but they look different than anything in the assembly manual and maybe similar to LMC's picture--but I can find nothing so far on which size cushion goes where.

In the kit there are 4 large cushions--2 of them are 1" thick and the other 2 are 1 1/8" thick.

I have two questions---which thickness goes where and how do I detrmine the number of shims needed.
My old mounts are long gone (and were long gone when I took them off). It had more shims in the front than in the back.

Does anyone have a picture of the stack up in their build thread? (Ive seen the page 38 illustration in LMC catalog)

Thanks guys---I anxiously await replies while cab is on hoist--ready for its new home!!!

Re: Another Body Mount question!

Thank you both for your answers!
SPATZ-- I looked thru the archieves but missed that thread--thanks you for raising it from the dead!!

ARTIKGRAU325is--- Thank you very much for the time it took to display the stack up on the mounts, your info as well was very helpful.

As usual these days the parts came without any type of instructions or descriptions.

Both of your replies should be made into a sticky somewhere on the board----I cant believe Im the only one who has had an issue with mounts. I would also think many will subscribe to this thread just for future reference.

Thanks again,,
