Hi all, my uncle's helping me to repair my series 3 109, we just went to replace front d/side outrigger, the bottom of the door pillar just came away in my uncle's hand ( tube is rusted away 5 inches up ), ordered a new 1, but unlike the p/side we don't have any of the outrigger or door pillar to ensure alignment, any advice, measurements, hints or tips would be appreciated.
rotten front outrigger & door pillar base. Help !!!!

A transfer of measurement from points on the other side can help. Land Rover themselves did not make every vehicle the same, washers were often used between outrigger and bulkhead foot to set correct distance.
The only real set point is where the tub fits on the back crossmember.

I nearly drove myself bonkers trying to get perfect door fitting. They are all different, they are old and most have been bashed around all over the place. You have to settle for good enough in the end. Also sorry to say any replacement parts you but won't fit. Have a look at this. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/steves-unexpected-series-3-rebuild.292955/page-32
