Can anybody tell me the purpose of the 3 bolts at the front of the cab floor?
It kinda looks like maybe there should be springs between the 2 cab floor sections????

G'morn, Actually there is a wood block that the three bolts go through. The blocks are available from almost all the vendors.

I think (rpat356sc please correct me if I am wrong), the wood blocks he mentioned are these Part# CB206 which are offered by Jim Carter and many other of our usual vendors.

I did notice in my search that some of the vendors listed them as being out of stock, but Jim Carter says ready to ship.

To answer the question of the bolts purpose, they bolt the firewall assembly to the rear part of the body.
