Yes, but all the pain might have been avoided if the 2 dizzy's had had their drive keys set the same way. Everyone knows #1 is at 1 O'clock on a Mini and that's how the old dizzy was keyed. LOL

That is definitely going to be a problem once the door top touches the new doors seal, but currently we are not even that close! I did wonder that but I think it is just the photo. I had these apart to rebuild and replace seals and they sat flat...

In the photo, the rear door top does look to curve outwards from the join to the top, you might need to take the glass out and give it some abuse !!

Make some tapered washers to sit over the studs
