Where does the fuel filler cutout/surround sit? Ie how far behind the door cutout is the front edge of the filler surround?

There is a stiffener inside the tub behind the door (spot welded in my county donor tub) - does the front rivet line of the fuel surround pick up the stiffener?

I can take pictures tomorrow if you like, just need to remember.

On mine the top middle rivet is 235 mm from the front edge of the tub. I had measurements from someone back when I built it.

Badco would be better taking a measure as it was a factory setup.

I wouldn't use the inside stiffener as a guide. These cars are handmade and can have variations from one vehicle to the next.

Where does the filler pipe go through the horizontal surface of the wheelarch in comparison with the seat belt anchorage?
