Wedge TR7 Bodywork Help Please!

[Aeroweld3033]

Hello i have a 1980 TR7 that was totalled and is now in the final stages of rebuild However my fenders were mangled ( after much time they were straightened) and the steel cross brace (splitter) connecting the lower half of the fender's tips was destroyed and im working on making a new one. . however i do not know the length of this piece or especially how far apart the lower section of the fenders should be up by the nose . . .So it would be greatly appreciated if some volunteer would take a few minutes to simply measure the width of the LOWER front tips of the front fender. . perhaps maybe even take a picture of the point you are measuring so mine can be measured at the exact location. .i know this is an odd request but it would be of more help to me than one could imagine. . thank you all very much for your time. Charlie

The distance you are looking for is 51 1/2". This is measured at the inner most edge of the front of the fender where it returns around the front and spot welds onto the splitter. The splitter overlaps the lower edge of the fender by about 1/2". Measure out 25 3/4" each way from the center of the bumper support to the fender's bottom edge. I might be able to snap a photo in the morning. The TR8 on my lift has no front bumper at the moment and it has a perfect unmolested nose.

Beautiful thank you very very much! Knew someone would have some situation like yours and it would be a breeze to measure!

You can see in the picture where the fender and the splitter come together. Note that the fender is almost vertical at that point.
