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...

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

I am about to fit the timber frame to the car do you need to put a seal between the b post and the wood frame I had a look at a couple of travellers one had a black mastic type seal the other nothing

The seal is at this stage of the rebuild not top p...
