Title: door gaps
Post by: Henry's HenryJs on October 27, 2012, 09:53:39 AM

I have no rockers and most of the front floor is gone on both sides of the HJ. I jacked the Dr's door up into position and now there is about 3/8" door gap to the rear fender. I assume that there should only be about 1/16- 1/8 gap and the door should cover the fender screws. How about some side pic's a well. Thanks, Henry.

Thanks, I am a member on the Hamb. Does anyone have pic's of the bracing they did to pull the body back in line and square?

Kaiser Bill had an entire procedure for this at www.kaiserbill.com
I see it is no longer  there but you may be able to contact someone at the site and ask them where it is.

This info is at the same site and may help you

I need to redo my floors and rockers also.  Whoever did it the first time didn't line everything up, so now the door gaps are off.  I plan on cutting it all out and holding it together with a ratchet strap or cable/cable binders (would have finer adjustments).  Then once I get it where I want, I'll tack on or if possible bolt on some square tubing to hold it where I want and brace from side to side also so when I install the new rockers and floors, nothing moves.
