As I'm now on the last few stages of getting mine back on the road.

I need to sort the panel gap, between the "Bonnet" and the doors, mine can be measured in Inches, which is handy for adjusting the hinges, but not very waterproof. I'm looking for measurements of the door widths and bonnet side from the corner of the arch, as I'm not sure which one is off.

I have tried to add some width with tape, but in both cases it seems to catch, so a photo would be good.


Also looking for pictures of Bumperless Coupes, both with the notch left and filled.

Bumperless, filled.



If you are not fitting extra door check straps the front door edge gaps need to be relatively wide or the doors will foul the rear bonnet edge when they are fully open.

I measured mine at 16.5mm at the widest point.

As already mentioned, there needs to be a gap (16.5mm must be similar to mine) to allow the door to swing open. Otherwise you are going to have to move the pivot point of the door hinge.

Just measured in the dark, but should be close to what i have

7-8 mm one side

and 10-11mm the other

West have you a photo of the front of the car ?

I remember you have no bumper, but didn't fill the notch

There's a picture of mine in the Stafford show thread which doesn't have a bumper but the notch is still there.
