Yes, ther is a spacer. I believe the blocks of wood are 2 1/4" X 2 1/4". someone will have to verify that. And put a little piece of rubber between the chassis and the wood.
Note, I seen where someone had the ida to use plastic blocks...just an idea to consider. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 86 | Thanks chipmunk. That 37 you have is number 1 !!! | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | As Alvin says, wood blocks with a 1/4" thick spacer between wood & steel. I used a high density industrial plastic material rather than rubber. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 406 | The 37-39 Short Step had 6 blocks - 4 small blocks and 2 large ones. The kits we sell also include 6 rubber pads 1/4" thick.
Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 86 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 86 | | | |
