Need '69 Convertible Door Jam Pix

[Floyd B.]

I need pictures of an original early production (circa early Oct 68) convertible. Specifically I am interested in the rear side of the door and body door jam post where the alignment wedges are attached. The TIM&JG is less than clear on this topic and the AIM has several revisions on this page but only depicts the final state of production (i.e. late '69). My car appears to be a mess. There is the long brass wedge attached to the passenger door with one screw and there are screw holes for the plastic block that would be installed on the door jam post but the block is missing. There is no evidence that any alignment hardware was ever installed on the driver side - i.e. no hardware and no holes in either the door or door jam post.

Thanx

Hi Floyd,
Here are 2 pictures from a 69 Bowtie car.
I believe it's a G11 build, so is a bit later than what you're looking for.
I don't know if they'll be of help to you or not.
Regards,
Alan

Re: Need '69 Convertible Door Jam Pix

Thank you sir. This car is the same colors as mine. This is a convertible - correct? Jeff sent me pix of his coupe and the set-up appears to be the same. The bad news is that none of repro's of the plastic block mounted on door jam post (2nd pic) are close to correct and originals are hard to come by. Original brass door wedges seem to be easy to come by and the repro's look pretty good.

Hi Floyd,
Yes, I forgot to mention that the pics are of a convertible.
There's someone down south that has some disassembled 69 cars and may have the block.
I'll get his contact information and send it to you.
Regards,
Alan

Alan, post the info here. I'm ALWAYS looking for used 1969 parts sources! (Unless it's against forum rules. If it is, just send me a message)

Thanks

Hi Alan,
I noticed the pictures you posted of your 69 Convertible door jam-excellent thanks. I'm wondering if you could post a couple more pictures of the top upper corner of the door jam, showing the fiber glass corner that wraps around the end of the side glass window which jams into the rubber window seal. I'm trying to determine what the actual shape of this fibre glass corner should be as mined has been modified.
Thanks
Wes
