MarkB Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 HiI Recently put the front and rear tubs back onto the chassis and have been playing around with spacers for a few weeks, trying to get everything lined up. The passenger door needs to drop slightly at the door shut end but the latch on the B post is set at it's lowest level. Its not a lot out, but adding or removing spacers between body and chassis has no effect, as its the relationship between the door striker plate and latch on the B post. I replaced the door skin and going by the problems I have had with repro front wings and o/s rear wing, this is probably what is causing the problem. I may be expecting to much regarding panel alignment. Other than lowering the captive plate on the inside of the B post, which will be difficult to do I am not sure of any other options. The drivers door has different problems as the lines are not bad, but the door sits a few mm high against the top of the rear wing, anyone had similar problems, and any suggestions appreciated.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hammond Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Doesn't look that bad actually! Seen worse on new Heralds! I'd try raising the bulkhead on the chassis by using spacers to give more clearance on the striker plate.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'd say that panel fit was pretty damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Looks better than mine already - and that's been driving round as it is for nearly 22 years now.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
