59' GRANTURA Mk1 restoration update
Discussion
Gentleman,
I do need some dimensions for my MK1.
I am fitting the rear end to the body and it does not fit very well.
The rear lights are a lot lower (7 cm) than normal. So I need some measuments to check if the rear end is in the right position.
I kindly ask some MK1 owners to do some measurements on their car.
please see my drawing.
Dimension A is the space between floor and sill.
Dimension B is distance between centre lower light and floor
Dimension C is distance from front window to rear screen. Measured from joglle to joglle (see sketch).
Dimension D is the measured on the narrowest place.
Dimension E is the shortest distance.
Many thanks
William

hi cantus you brave man' there are 2 critical dimensions you need,1 is the distance from the back of the roof to the top of the back section, so that the rear screen fits in correctly, and 2 the distance from what you have marked as E* to the lower rear light, this will establish the wheel arch is the correct opening and if you are wondering, i've done a few wipe out repairs on these in my past, and no i'm not doing anymore. best regards keith

that is not really the case because I did not touch the window surrounding.

Hi William,
Do you also make the footwell deeper so you will fit in it?
Your over 6"5 I think?
Hans
Hallo Hans, yes I did ! I forwarded the frontplate of the footwell with 1 inch.Do you also make the footwell deeper so you will fit in it?
Your over 6"5 I think?
Hans
I am 6'6". I also will take the bulkhead plate behind the driversseat 1 inch backwards.
I think I will fit in it after these modifications.

No problem with room inside, the entry and exit are the difficult bits....IMHO.

Isn't that what sunroofs are made for? Then, all you need, are a harness, and a crane. Regards,
