When replacing a steel A-panel in a classic Mini, it's important to get the two holes in the new A-panel aligned correctly so the external hinges fit, and this is what these models are for.
How to use these templates :
- Confirm what side you are replacing (LH or RH) and 3D print the top and bottom templates (eg LHT & LHB for Left Hand Side).
- Fit and align the door in the door opening and bolt the templates to the top and bottom hinge holes in the door with ¼" or 6mm bolt. Ensure the arrow next the “UP” text points upward.
- Fit the new A-panel pieces and align the holes in the panel with the holes in the templates and bolt together with an 8mm bolt.
- Panel beat the A-panel seams/edges as necessary for proper fitment with the current panels.
The photos includes in this model are from a prototype and don't have the arrow on them. The photos are the templates used on a de-seamed Mini however the same procedure applies for original seamed Minis. Note : These templates have been modelled from newer alloy hinges so there may be a very minor minor variation in shape when compared original hinges - the hole positions are the same for alloy or steel hinges.
Note : The orange door panel gap tools and Classic Mini door clamp seen in the photos can be found amongst my other models https://www.printables.com/@Mearcat
