Re: Door opening
I couldn't find reliable data on this subject so I measured the top width and the lower width of the door and set the gaps based on that. If your body is flexing that much, you have bigger issues than just the mounts. It sounds as if the rockers have given out. On my '71, all the spotwelds were separated all the way down the edge of the firewall to the floor board as well. Before the repairs, the body would flex 1 - 1 1/4" at the door opening. After the repairs, I'm lucky to get an 1/8 of flex using body mount shimming and tightening the mounts.
