Any tips on where to exactly locate the hinges on the body panels for a rear door?
My Series IIa started life as a pickup. I don't have have the roof and side panels finished yet and since spring is here might just leave the top off until winter. But in the mean time I am building speaker boxes that will cover the spot where the middle hinge will go (I am adding a third hinge and Defender door). So I need to at least drill the holes and test fit everything before bolting the speaker boxes in place to ensure that the box won't interfere with the hinge. I test fitted the speaker box and it looks like my first design will indeed interfere but that will depend on the hinge...
So is it possible to line the door up without the top? I.e.- by positioning it a quarter inch off the bed at the bottom? The door does not have holes in it for the hinges so it is not as simple / obvious as installing the hinges on the door first and then marking the body and drilling.
