I'll try here no response from "general chat"
Hi
I am in the process of renovating my 1976 911, I want to make sure I am supporting it correctly before I conduct any significant repairs. I would like to understand what is best practice with regard to supporting the body/chassis (engine, running gear and suspension all removed).
I am currently observing is that when the body is supported on a rotisserie (fixed to bumper shock absorber mounts) the door gaps are spot on however, when I lower the body on to axle stands, rears under torsion tube and front under front foot wells, the door gaps degrade mainly closing up where the top front edge corner of the door window and body window frame. This is opposite to what I expected.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Mark T
