Frame measurements

Is there a frame dimension chart on the net somewhere? My '59 Alpine has some poor work done on the left frame horn and would like to be sure they are correct more than simply cross measuring.

Or, if someone has a Series 1 (or others if they are the same) with a bumper off to measure across the frame for me I would appreciate it.

This isn't my car, I swiped the photo off the net. But if anyone could, center to center measurement at that hole in very end would be great.

Bumper Bolt Hole Measurements

Brian, I just measured two of my cars. One of which is original for sure with out any damage to the front area you are asking for measurements.

From center to center of the bolt holes I measured 28 3/4".

Hope this is helpful....

There's a dimension in the WSM that is referenced by the inside surface on the rails at the front bumper attachment. That value is 27.1" and when I measure on the bolt to bolt hole centers to be about 28.5" on my series II here in the shop.
This body had collision damage repair to the right front fender, and they didn't set the right frame rail back, plus it had wrinkles in the channel of the frame rail. So, I cut the rail and "pulled" it into spec again and then welded the rail cuts back up.
If you want a picture I could take one and post it.

I also made up an alignment bar that has the bolt spacing and ends bent to an angle so the bar would be mated to the bumper mounts. This helped jig everything in place during welding.
