Need measurements from a good '68

Aug 05, 2005 3 Replies

Here's the deal. My '68 westy took a shot in the nose before I owned it. This pushed the A (hinge) pillar back a tad and the doors don't line up and close correctly. I am going to try moving them back using a porta power press. Unfortunately a previous owner just bent the doors until they closed, so I can't really use them as a reference.



If someone could measure above and below the hinges from the hinge pillar directly across to the latch pillar, I should would appreciate the information.



Thanks

1137mm??? What the heck does that mean.....just kidding:) Thanks a bunch for the measurement! I will have to convert it or find a metric rule, which are not that common over here.

Thanks again,
