I have moved to some bodywork and the elusive quarter inch. Looks like the central spider had been wrongly positioned by the pervious owner; on the Tornados the back of the roof legs should be 14" from the chassis member of the rear wheel arch, one side was 13.5" I could just about take out the error with huffing and puffing. The other (driver's) side was 13", so needed to be re-drilled, there was also a lot of huffing and puffing, mostly disguised as bad language. I found some carpet offcuts that are exactly 1/4" thick so have been using them to maintain the gaps around the edges,.... errr I think I am getting there.
When the roof was corrected the rear clip did not engage in the rain channel, so it is now unbolted and repositioned in the correct place and is now sitting in position on bricks and wood, ready for the drill.
As the doors had been fitted wrt the mal positioned roof, the driver's door is now out by an inch, so the hinges need moved forward, anyway I'm leaving that for later.
The front clip is out of whack too. Anyway, Monday evening will see the rear clip drilled and bolted in the correct position. hopefully I'll get the front apron of the roof section provisionally positioned, then the front clip can be corrected later this week, oh and the doors.
does anyone know of a log detailing body fitting, things like setting the gaps, affixing the sills etc,..
