I have read on other sites about the non-symmetry of the body and the need to fit shims between the rear clip and body. These I cut out of some 1.5 mm aluminium sheet.

I also have read advice on fabricating some solid 'washers' to spread the load for the nuts that secure the body to the cills, again I fabricate these out of some steel bar I have lying around.

I also make an aluminium bracket to support the rear clip as depicted in the build manual, although I later find out this is not actually required.
