Body Measurements, How to Measure Accurately Options

[BeatNavy]

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.

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?

When you measure a rectangle on the diagonal, you can see if the windshield frame is down on one side.
Brace that,

I am not sur if Foley’s braces work with the doors closed, but that would be my only choice, the hinge area is too easy to move.
