Hi Peter,
Split down the middle....its a '75
What I need at the moment is a measurement of the rear lamp post from the lip where the bumper bolts on to the top of the lamp post. I am replacing most of the rear end on mine and have some discrepancies in measurements on each side.
Also need to know the thickness of the spacer washers that fit between the tailgate hinges to load floor mounting point.
Part number is 14A7771 - distance piece
Just for starters ......
Regards
Andrew

I have an unrestored 1982 if that helps.
From the bumper lip to the top of the corner panel is 18 1/2 inches.
There is a 'L' shaped plate at the top to strengthen the hood frame hole which adds another 1/4 inch if you have that ?

Any chance of getting that measurement ? If it doesn't make sense I'll post a pic of said area up !
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Iain,
That'll give me something to work from.
Many thanks
