Re: Body Mounts

Scraping off the seam sealer of my floor pan to make sure there is nothing hiding that needs some attention. "If you go looking for trouble..." Whoops, I missed this spot! This is outrigger #5 just in front of the rear wheel well on the passenger side.
These mounts are a bit different than the rest in that they don't have a heavy washer on top that presses against the floor pan itself like in this picture. (This is outrigger #4 at the door post.)
Instead, #5 on both sides is bolted down by the brace, but not the pan. Note in the picture below the space around the washer, the floor pan does not go under the washer. (No washer originally, I added that.) This is obviously intentional, but can someone tell me why? Is this to help minimize the transfer of noise or vibration? Maybe it allows additinoal flexibility at this spot?? Has me curious... 🤔
