Installing the "dog house"

[TFC]

Engine is in and I'm finally ready to install the "dog house" on my 52 B3B.   Looking over how the attachment was handle before there are quite a few rubber pads/shims that were used wondering if this is the way this should be done.  Seems like the brackets have a fair amount of adjustment built into them to handle the alignment?  Should I use rubber mounts on the attachment points?  Any insight as to the best way/original way this should be handled would be appreciated.  Pics attached.

yes you need something in there, not metal to metal....anti-squeak and vibration damping

Thanks ggddad1951, makes perfect sense.  What about the front center mount under the radiator?  Mine only had large flat washers when I took it apart.

My radiator support to frame mount was metal to metal as well.

Mine was and is spaced with metal spacers (washers) tightened down good and snug.

Dog House back on!  Thanks guys, used rubber shims made from radiator hose for the fender attaching points and large metal flat washers for the radiator support.
