It looks to me like ...

Thanks I purchased the car completely in bits I will have a good look see if these angle brackets have come with the car

Ready to fit the roof all the woodwork fixed . I believe originally the foremost rear roof spar is fixed to the ally top using nails if you do this how do you fix that spar to the frame do you just use tiger seal to fix the roof to the spar Also to get the rubber seal around the contours of the roof...

Looks like you are about in the same position as me I am just refitting the original wood frame after a full restoration of the car

Top hole of hinge in door vertically down 4 1/4 ( four and one quarter inch ) to centre of top hole
Bottom hole of hinge in door vertically up 6 3/8 ( six and three eighths inches) to centre of bottom hole

Mine are about 7mm

On my 69 traveller there is a key lock on both front doors

Thanks for all your suggestions I have been on the website and had a good look at all the suppliers but I still can’t get the seal in green the jaguar supplier is the nearest but without seeing it in the “flesh” difficult to tell if it would be ok . The seal is at this stage of the rebuild not top p...
