Thanks again.
Did you Need to fettle the metalwork around the hinges ?

Thanks again.

I  had to do very little fettling around the hinges. One door needed packings between door and hinge, and in places I had to grind the edge of the door back then weld the edge. And I had to do a cut and shut at the top back corner of the window frame. The body is not to perfect shape and dimensions -  I made the door fit the hole.

That’s a great help
It is thought that most sevens originally had each door made to fit specifically for that body.
So perhaps my car had a replacement at some time.

Hi Tiger..

Can you point me to where that information might have come from please? I'd be really interested to know..


thanks...

This is from another A7 owner he owns a RN.
I will ask for any further information and happy to pass that on.
