Greetings, Fellow Listers, I was getting Rip, the '73 Spit, ready for the winter today - had to put a new tarp over him. He's had door fit problems since I bought him. I've suspected body sag from when the DPO replaced the rockers. Today I measured the distance from the top of the A post to the top of the B post. It came in at 35 7/16". I compared this to Lazarus, the '74. He measures a strong 35 9/16". Is 1/8" within the manufacturing tolerances you'd expect, or have I just confirmed the dreaded tub sag? If it has sagged, what are the chances of getting it straight again? I know this requires replacing the rockers again. The rest of the tub is decent, so I hate to just scrap it out.
I'm also getting ready to start rehab of the bolt-on wires I have. Are there things other than the obvious loose spokes, out of true conditions, and bent areas that I should be checking for? I'm don't remember what the rim width is, but would 175/70 tires fit OK? As always, all of your thoughts are appreciated.
