Hi guys
I am working to a set of dimension obtained from this site several months ago to position the hoops for the hood. Does anyone know if the dimensions are taken along the centre line of the car or along the webbing lines.?
The dims are taken <span style="text-decoration: underline">beween</span> bows
front to first is 20.25 inches that is fixed and is the same whatever the line.
1st to 2nd 10 inches
2nd to rear bow 7.5 inches
and rear bow to body line is 14.5 inches.
I have problems with getting the 14.5 unless the line is on the webbing.
I have further problems with the side glass and hood frame relationship that can not be overcome by rotating the side windows - I need to close up a 6mm gap in the height and open up the gap at the rear by around 4-5mm.
Short of altering the fixing brackets on the body for the frame I can not figure out a solution. Some of the problem may be down to a slight sag in the chassis, shown up by the shut lines at the rear of the doors.
