Measurement Help
 
I thought I saw these on here before but I could not find them when searching.

I am getting ready to cut into the floor and rockers and I need some measurements before I start to brace everything. I appreciate any help.

Need A,B and C measurements and anything else you think would be helpful.

can you put the top on? It might be easier then you can put the doors on (and off a bunch of times....)while your working on it to check the lines.

Read the thread...just don't look at the pic, the bottom door measurement is in-correct in the posted picture.

Make sure your body mounts are in great shape prior to any re-insallation of metal, if they're not replace them with new.

Here's some measurements I took last week for another board member from my untouched 69.

Your 'A' measurement:

Your 'B' measurement:

Your 'C' measurement:

Here's a couple so you can check your winshield frame angle too:
* Note where the plumb-bob string is hanging from, so your accurate when trying to match the numbers.

Hey Kurt, are you sure you're not a plumber? I saw the Kohler box and the plumb-bob? :lol: :smoke:

Yep sure, the box is the same one you've made mention of a couple times now and from time to time, us 'lectricians have the need to drop a 'bob' too ya know. :uhmk:

Good Stuff!!

I'm printing these off for the shop now.

The only caution I'd make is that the "plumb bob" measurement will only be valid if the tub is 100% level to the ground. Otherwise I'm sure it could easily be off by 1/4" or more in either direction.
