Dimension request!

I'm going to fit a 3/4 hood to my 109 truck cab.

I need to fit the front rope hooks to do that.

Does anything have the distance between the fold of the door frame and the rivets?

Much appreciated!

Did you get the dimensions?

Are you having to rivet on the tie down tabs? Someone with a 109 must have the dimensions.
Is this what you mean?

Yes! Exactly! I saw your earlier posts, and have book marked them.

If I don't get the dimension, I'll make it up, must be nearly in line with the gutter.

Incidentally, the aluminium bars that are inserted into the hood, how do they attach to the cab? There's buttons on the parts book, but I'm not sure where they are fixed.

Thanks.

I am still looking. The hood hasn't arrived. Not even sure if it had been made yet!
So, if you could, that would be appreciated!
 
Here you go...hope this is what you need. 1st pic showing most of the side; 2nd with measure. From edge to 1st rivet i make it to be 13.5in to centre of rivet, but you can check yourself if you zoom in. My sides are pretty straight so should do you, even if my door isn't exactly a great fit...

Hi, thanks for that. My 109 has those as well, it's the dimension for little stick out things I'm looking for. These:

I'm not sure if they ever were standard. I'm going to see where the rope ends up and fit them there. Mostly new to me, this 3/4 hood idea.
