[Tigers] Fixed Window Distance Piece

[Ron Fraser]

Excellent I learned something new here today – thank you.

 

Anyone have a picture of the original tube – distance piece?

How about the dimensions for the tube.

 

My guess is that it is a double wall tube not a thin wall tube.

Yep, that's what I was looking for.

 

Thanks,

Joe,

 

 Do you mean behind the single screw facing into the interior on the 1/4 windows finisher that aligns to the padded door top roll?

 

If so yes there was a tube, this features on the late mki cross body cars through mkia and mkii. These cars have the GT doors and the 1/4 window base was deeper and used a longer screw than the early cars. The spacer is just tubing... Some brass or aluminium tube cut to length will work fine

                The chrome finisher is on the inside with 4 screws to the fixed window frame and 2 screws that attach finisher to the door.

On the outside there is the rubber seal for the glass that runs the length of the door including the fixed window frame – Body Fittings, pg. YX5, part # BF116 – 2220807 & 2220808.

 

I don’t see anything of a distance piece or am I looking in the wrong place.

Hi,

 

I was putting my doors back together and noticed that there is a gap between the door and the  fixed window frame where the long screw goes.  I checked the Alpine parts book and it says there is a "distance piece" here but doesn't show it.  I dug through all of my parts and can't find anything that looks like it would work here.  What does this "distance piece" look like?  Is it just a short piece of tubing that goes between the door and fixed window frame so that the long screw doesn't pull the frame in?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
