<p>I got rocker panels from British Car Specialists. They supply Kilmartin parts. These have the correct curvature in the vertical and lateral dimensions to allow the proper visual sweep from wheel well to wheel well. Most replacements are made on a brake and
as such the panels are dead straight and don't look right. As far as other dimensions I found significant differences from side to side on my car and I'm not sure if those are a result of original production or a later rebuild.</p>

my head. The bottoms of my doors are a hair over 30-1/2", if anyone with a BN4 or BT7 and a tape measure wants to check theirs and report. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
