convertable body dimensions

Post by oldenglishcarscom »

Can anyone help us? We rebuild and repair English cars here in America and We are rebuilding a morris minor convertable but it is so rotten it has fallen in two and we would like to find a body dimension diagram so we can weld it back up correctly. Can anyone help?
Thanks

The official workshop manual gives good pics of body components but, to
my surprise, does not give any dimensions at all. Presumably the car has broken beneath the doors so,once you have obtained the new sill
components and FITTED THE DOORS it should be possible to jack up the car until the doors line up with the rest of the body. I had to support my convertible with eight jacks to get the alignment right and it hadn't
fallen in two!
