tomsupon1 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hello all. As the title states I am getting ready to remove the body from my model 47 and wanted to ask the experts for any do's and don't help. Would not want to make any mistakes that will cost me more in the end. I am removing it to get full access to the bottom woodwork and to the frame. Do I need to make braces, etc and are there any places I need to stay away from while jacking. Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelod Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would recommend that you replace your body bolts rather than reuse the original ones. Some will probably break during the process of removal anyway. I went with stainless steel as most of my original bolts were severely rusted. Assuming your wood is in good shape and not rotted out, you should not need to brace anything. Also pay close attention to the location and number of shims that you will find between the body and frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
