Here is a detailed pic of the left side shut of P1053 showing the top holes for the TR4 light and the switch in the dimple below. The piece of metal is rectangular that fits inside and covers both circles and is tacked in where you see.

Anyone know the DIA of the two holes, distance of holes from a bend line and hole spacing width and length of support.

 

[David mono]

From JimmyMac build thread.

 

[Davidmgbv8]

Got some dims over the phone and taped some fag packs together and I am pretty close. Holes are 2 1/4” dia approx. distance is guesstimate

 

[Ole Nylende]

Sorry for the delay guys, i just finished it.
Alot of dimensions if someone wants to cut it by hand. Included is also a DXF file (metric dimensions).
Inside bend radius is 1mm

That is awsome thanks for putting in a DFX, I can have my water jet guy modify for my style latch.

Hello gents,

sorry - late to the show. Found some pics I took 2013 at the Goodwood Revival - resolution unfortunately is not so great....

 

[Ryan L]

Thanks Markus (@weisserheilbronn ) photos are much appreciated.
Looks like a nylon plastic guide just below the return on the top of the rear firewall?

I have been wondering about how the release rod is held in place in the roof cavity and what stops in rattling around.

Ryan,
it seems that my pics got resized when I uploaded them - when I blow them up on my PC it seems that I can see more details - I need to look into this later today....
Thinking of this - I did wonder why there was no need anymore with resizing pictures before uploading onto the forum.... so it's obviously not because storages space became so cheap and they seem to be resized automatically.....

 

[Markus]

So yes, like suspected - orginal file has 4.9MB, the uploded one has only 0.4MB.....

Well, you (and certainly others) can send me a private message with your Email and I shoot you the pics....

 

[Markus]

Hello all,

I just sent out some mails with the pics to some forum members - If anybody else would like to have them as well please send me your mail address per direct message. I have the mails currently in my outbox but need to delete them soon due to a lot of storage space used in my mailbox....
