I hope this picture is clear enough,I had to take the door off to get a good shot of the opening. The arrows are pointing to the locations I used for the measurements. Good luck.

The bottom measurement should be 35-7/8", My Bad.

Thanks! Perfect timing.

I'm starting my tube doors this weekend and taking measurements from the other blazer was on the 'to do' list but you just saved me the time.

Another place to find the measurements is in the factory service manual, in case anybody was wondering.

I was about to ask this question actually! I Installed new Poly Body mounts a couple of months ago and I wanted to double check my work.

Hey Rusty, any chance the bottom measurement of 33-7/8" should be 35-7/8"?

Just checking...

DURRTY · 06-14-2007, 02:32 AM

right?? maybe his aren't perfectly straight I have a factory assembly manual and they draw a straight line down for the measurement, not showing a difference in length Ill have to check it out again

It's correct (Rustys pic) other than the last measurement I questioned about.

DURRTY · 06-14-2007, 03:04 PM

Ill take a look at it tonight and scan the page(s) and post them. I have only thumbed the manual so far and have not spent much time actually reading it. I guess I need to put it on top of the crapper. LOL maybe then i can study it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-14-2007, 03:44 PM

Good pic to have, right click and save

DURRTY · 06-15-2007, 02:28 AM
