Hi everyone. I've got a '65 that I'm a good way through the metalwork on, but I fear I may have taken off a piece I should have made a jig for first. I've got a new rear longitudinal piece, and I cut off the old panel last week. As an aside, there are some substantial differences in the shape of the new panel, and what's on my car. The panels start and end in the same place, but in between the original Porsche metal has an extra, very pronounced, crease in it where the rear inner wheel well spot welds to it. Anyway...
My torsion tube is in the correct place. But how critical is the alignment of the four cover holes in relation to the torsion bar, both in angle and depth? My driver's side is still intact, so if need be I can use some 80/20 rail to make a jig based on the factory measurements, but I'd like to save myself the trouble if it's not a particularly critical dimension and "eyeballing it" will do.
