In the middle of stripping down car, and I noticed that the gap between the bulkhead and the sun frame was not even.

 

Gap on near side is 11mm

 

Gap on the offside is 18mm

 

Ive looked at the mount points on the toe board,  The off side one has a packer under it, although its not 7mm thick

 

I'm going to replace the fibre glass flip front with all new panels including the full inner wings, I was going to use the sub frame to  align the panels.

 

Where should I take measurements from on the inside of the shell to determine if the toe board mount points are in the right place?

What would the measurements be? 

 

I will see if I can get some better pictures of the toe board mount points, see if there are any local dents in the toe board of flitch (both have been extensively repaired).

is the right hand (..as you look from the front..) tower correctly located in the bulkhead crossmember ?

the bodywork and fittings section of your Haynes manual give you the measurements you need to align the subframes to within tolerance.

 

that spacer aint needed. the bolt to the subframe need slackening as there is adjustment there as the holes are over size. and looking at that subframe i would not presume that it is straight or square.

I've had a good look at the bulkhead today and noticed that the offside lower subframe mount is pushed back, I then cleaned the underseal off off the tunnel end to find that it's covered in hammer marks. It looks like someone has hammered a large rent out of the end of the toe board where the tunnel meets it. Both floor pans have a bow in them which makes me wonder if toe board has been pushed back in a smash.

I have dimensions of front subframe mount in relation to heel board but only for a single bolt on the lower mount.


Anyone have this for front subframe with 2 holes?
