Ozgur I appreciate your quick reply, but converting mm to inches that only comes out to approx. 16.7". If anyone could take this measurement I would greatly appreciate it.

John,

Karl is the man to speak with as he has CSX2498 (original semi unmolested slabside) "in house" in which to take measurements. I may have detail shots of the car if you want me to email them to you.
