(a) The chassis frame shall support the rear body cross member. The school bus body shall be attached to the chassis frame at each main floor sill, except where chassis components interfere with such attachment, in such a manner so as to prevent shifting or separation of the school bus body from the chassis under severe operating conditions.

(b) Body fasteners shall conform to the manufacturer's specifications. The distance between the fasteners that secure the body to the chassis shall not exceed 42 inches along the length of the chassis frame. The fasteners shall be located directly opposite each other along the length of the chassis frame. Type A school buses that utilize the original chassis manufacturers' floor plans shall conform to the manufacturers' mounting specifications.

(c) Isolators shall be placed at all contact points between the body and the chassis frame on each body-on-chassis-type school bus, and shall be attached to the chassis frame or body so that it will not move under severe operating conditions.
