Are 26 & 27 roadster doors all the same? I have a 26 roadster and It appears that the doors that came with my project are 27 based on the door latches. I am having a difficult time fitting the doors.
Thank you
Bill

I don’t know but I can send you pictures of the doors from my 26 Roadster if it will help.

Yes there are differences in the roadster doors. The four holes in the inside metal panel are a different size, and the hole for the side curtain rod was changed to eliminate a bushing, and the door latch was changed. Also the hinge mounting area was changed. So in summary yes there were some changes but when I do not know. For instance I have a roadster with one door with big inner panel holes and another with small inner panel holes. Perhaps it came that way or perhaps someone changed a door during its life.
