I'm sorry, but I did a search, but can't find the drawing that defines the cross measurements between the windshield post and the roll bar.
Someone posted the drawing some time back, but maybe I just didn't enter the correct search words. I am having some welding/rust repair on my longitudinal and want to make sure my door gaps are correct and my top to fit correctly. I have seen some horror stories over the years on this site and do not want to be another one. I have finally saved enough money, so here we go!

You need to think about this in 3D. F and X are good. Y and G will tell a different story. G will tell you side for side if someone over time bent the windshield frame up or down to get a fit to the window frames or targa top. Y will be a more accurate measurement than X because the windshield frame is easy to bend out of place.
In most cases we are checking chassis' for sag from rust damage not collisions. So if you get a good G AND the door fits the front fender line AND the windshield frame fits the vent window, (set the frame to spec, fit the door to the fender, adjust the vent window frame to the windshield frame) Then you will be able to have confidence in your F and X measurements. At that point you can address the sag at the jack post, install door opening braces and fix the soft chassis causing flex. Oh, BTW: if your fixing crash damage the picture changes entirely. |
