Full Version: Dimensions for front triangle
Hi , was hoping someone could give me a picture and possibly dimensions for the front triangles inside front fenders at front of rockers, mine super bastardized by P.O. Thanks Dennis
You can order a new one from Restoration Design near Toronto.
Nope. At least if I understand what you are describing.
The R&L triangle sections in the frunk attached to the front cross wall on the 73-74 cars ... are not currently being reproduced.
I wish they were.

Perhaps I didn’t understand what you are looking for. I thought you were looking for the ones in the front trunk area.
What year is the car?

These are re-manufactured & exist on all cars

What I was referring to are the "bows" that are still triangle shaped & help to reinforce the front crosswall.

I was referring to the ones at the front of rockers inside wheel well that I believe are larger than the ones on threshold…. Will fabricate what I need with pic or dimensions
Sounds like he needs the front sill triangle. No one reproduces that piece yet.

I just went out to my car and grabbed the part for you. Here's a pic of what I have left of it 
. Yes, this car has A/C, so ignore the hole(s). The second pic is my "back of the napkin" sketch with some rough'd in dimensions I took directly from the part. I'm not much of a draftsman! The third shows the inside bend and how the outer edge width increases as it moves up the part. I've fabricated these in the past without too much difficulty. I mainly used a vise, if I remember correctly. Your mileage may vary but this should get you close. Good luck!

Funny! You can see why I have to go all the way to bare metal with this BB LE car. Just look at this part! Most of the car is like this. Rust is like a web under all of the original black paint. It typically comes right off with Ospho (or the like). Places where it's bad, you almost can get the paint out of the rust without sandblasting or direct metal replacement. No worries. This will be the one I drive when I hit retirement in a few years.
