Couple questions for you guys. Firstly, I think I know the answer already, but I wanted to ask whether it's necessary to install the front inner wheel housings when mocking up the front clip for panel gapping/fitment testing. I've got the front fenders loosely mocked up now without the wheel housings, and it seems like they might play a role in how everything lines up. Just wanted to double-check before I take everything off and try again.

Secondly, anyone have ideas about these core support bushings? They aren't thick enough to keep the core support from resting directly on the frame. Unless I'm doing something wrong here...?

I had to shim mine up with washers, as shown in the chassis manual. I'm also thinking that the repro bushings are not as thick as the original ones were.
