Have the chassis checked on a bench to make sure if it is straight, then 
go from there. Measuring using the top of the wheel opening is rather 
useless, this is a more or less hand built car by Jensen using panels 
that had to be trial fitted to get the best match and even then some 
extensive lead filling could be neccesary, so it is in no way symmetric.
