S3 OTS body jig dims

[Fspp369]

Could one of the members kindly send me a link to a diagram or list of dimensions of the body please.
Mounting points, reference points, distance between chassis features…. That sort of thing .
I want to check a few things before it’s off to the spray booth!
Thanks in advance.
Peter.

Service manual body sections has the diagrams with dimensions......Steve

Hello Peter,
As Steve suggests, the dimensions are listed, along with a drawing, in the S3 Repair Operation Manual. However, there are numerous mistakes in this manual, so don't take the listed dimensions as being Gospel and check the dimensions against a vehicle if you can. I know that at least dimension "X" is incorrect and there may be others.

The dimensions listed for the Rear Wishbone is another obvious error; the dimensions are for an XJS Wishbone, not an S3 E Type.

Regards,

Bill

Thanks Bill, this is the sort of thing I am coming across.
I posted the query because some of the dimensions I’ve taken do not agree with the book,, only simple ones so far!.
I have set up a multi laser system down to 0.5mm, but I’ve a feeling this is very much overkill given 70’s assembly techniques !!!
Whilst I have the car “bare” and not knowing it’s detailed “daily” history I thought I’d take the chance to check everything….bit of a nerd with such things …hey ho
