I tried to find this info, but Google isn't having any luck. Anyone got a 356 apart that they can take some measurements off of?

I'm restoring this 1966 C and the door mount brackets are trashed (by some previous repairer). I'd like to make new ones, but I can't seem to find a picture of what they should look like to estimate the hole size/shape.

Pictures would help, measurements would be even better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/help.gif)

Scotty has a 356C in his shop (I think it's being finished up and still there). If he can't get you a paper pattern, let me know and I can trace my '64. Just let me know after you try Scotty.

Only thing is my car and the one he's working on have the doors hung.

I just finished putting my 64C Outlaw back together. I have some extra pieces that might help you, though.

Let me know if you need anything more. I can also make a template from it if you need. I have those blueprints printed out for you and Rick. I just need to get my ass to the p.o. and ship them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

AWESOME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif) Above and beyond. This is gonna be easy. Now I just wish I had a CNC plasma cutter and I could just draw it on my computer and 'print' it in 10 minutes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Looks like the 'rear' on those is enclosed as well. Someone cut out that whole section for some reason.

Can you take a quick snap of the nut-plate? Curious if mine or OE or handmade.

It is handmade and OEM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

There is some weird geometry, worse than the 914 to get the doors right.
It can take a few hours to get it mint.
There are door shims available if you look at Stoddards or other 356 vendors...the shims come in different thickness also...

The up down dremel work that was done on the hinge plates previously might mean your chassis is sagging.
They sag near the rear of the door...
They also sag at the fender from basic rot...which you will find or are fixing now.

There is a small triangle patch piece where the long connects to the floor/rear seat...
Near the floor.
Pull the piece out and fix the rust you cannot see underneath...
Then put the piece back....

I do this all with the car on long 4*4,s to keep the chassis straight...
Seems to like to sag at that point.

note that the nut plate is a rectangle. The nuts are not in an even square pattern.
