Every now and then someone posts a thread here about door and/or window gaps swearing their longs are solid and it's not a rust issue (I may post something similar here soon myself). Often it's recommended to check body dimensions (Body Dimensions), particularly measurement H and F. "F" is described as "Between roll bar and windshield flange" with target of 25 & 1/8 inches and seems pretty straightforward. "H" is a little more elusive for me. It seems there's too much room for error in the description to get a really useful result.
"H" is the measure of door width and is defined as "Measured between bulge for door contact switch and depression for door lock plate" with target of 40 and 29/32 in. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/specs/bodydims/fig06.jpg) Anybody have better pictures, or a better description, of where exactly to measure for "H" (where at the "bulge")? Any other dimensions that are critical for door gaps / longitude integrity? |

The factory manual has very good pictures in it, especially if you get one of the original burgundy binder factory manuals. You can purchase a measuring stick from anyone who sells frame equipment. They work great

Anyone have a picture to share? |
