In post 89 i showed the condition of the inserts that go above the front doors.
I was considering how I was going to fabricate replacements as they curved in both directions and would have required a fair amount of work to get the shape right. Luckily that was avoided and we managed to obtain a pair that had been salvaged from wrecked bodies. Sandblasted they are perfect. There is a series of corresponding holes that run along the top of this piece that the guttering over the door screws into. It is ideal for positioning the insert in place. I got a cleco pin in the front of the left insert but could not get the rest to come together to add more clecos. I placed small bolts gradually doing them up as I went along and it all came together nicely. A couple of clamps and then it could all be welded in place.
