Currently setting up the custom seat pedestal on my coachbuild project. and I am still not sure about the total outer width of the body at those sections.
I believe they are somewhere between 1650 and 1660 mm but would appreciate if some of you guys could take measurements on their actual original bus, please. rather be safe than sorry. Thanx !

a: total outside width at b posts at seat pedestal height (bulkhead section)
b: total outer width at doglegs, where the just start to curve down.

Youre about right. Best I could get was roughly
A- 1660.5
B- 1648

My bus has had work done in the past so consider that I suppose.
