A problem was discovered after the test fit of the body. Here is the rear seat belt mount on the chassis above the fuel tank.

But the replacement body has the mount on the underside which hits the chassis when lowered onto it.

The decision is made to remove the mount from the body and keep the chassis mount for safety reasons. Test fitting is very important to reveal problems like this.
