Probably aimed at Pete and Wayne as I know their cars but any shouts welcome.
I wonder if anyone could do me a favour please and take a measurement for me.
I need to know the distance between the top bolt of the upper door hinge where it screws into the A post to the top bolt of the lower hinge also where it screws into the A post. Centre to centre of the bolt heads is fine. Obviously either front door will do.
Thanks................:)

Mark, thanks for the response, both the 3 and 4 would be useful. I think the 4 maybe the same as 6 but not sure. Don't bust a gut though, it's another one of my armchair projects!!

Thank you Mark, much appreciated. Can I just confirm that is the E4 or both? If it's the 4 no need to worry on the 3 cheers Andy

Have long thought the G is a little sloppy at the front. Was looking at Bracing and came across fender braces for EVOs. Hmmmmmmmm me thinks just the sort of thing I was thinkinking of fabricating, but these EVO ones may fit with pehaps a little adjustment.

More commonly known as Flitch Braces over here. Fender bracing or even Under Fender Bracing tends to be the US term. Have even seem them called A pillar braces.

Just seen this, Andy. Do you want me to check mine too?

Cheers Wayne, but I think it should be the same as the E4 quoted earlier. Mind you - I'm guessing a little that the Tommie was based on the E6?
