Hi,

I have a gap, much bigger then it should be, between the driver door and b-post top.

Is setting the door gaps in T34 is the same as T14 ghia's? (with spacers between body and chassis)

The T34 has a sub frame as all T3, so I thought maybe their's another way to set the gap.

Thanks!

No, it's basically the same. The doors have bolt on hinges, and so does the body side. This means you can shim it in all directions.
