Hello all, Trying to piece together body as above and was wondering if anyone has photos of how the door fits up against the rear body. Are they flush fitted or do they overlap over what looks like a recess in the top of the rear panel? Dont have to much to go off here, so any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
The A pillar (on the flat side where the hinges bolt to, but not the recessed part.. above that..) to B pillar on the Brookville roadster bodies, which is what i copied and mine is the same.. is 550mm. RPU doors are the same as Roadster.. so the gap should theoretically be the same. I had to piece mine together from Brookville panels and original cowl / doors. The doors do overlap as above. I found the Brookville rear roadster quarters had an 8mm difference in length and i offset the short side 4mm further back than the other, and used the doors overlap to cover the gap. No one is any the wiser but if you look at my door latches on the rear quarters, one is bolted to the B pillar and one i cut the inside of it a little and it slips over the b pillar. Not a big deal.. to me anyway.
