Happily, all the structural wood in my 740, sills included, is in very good condition owing to the car having lived its entire life in the desert.
Is the material you mention supposed to go under the splasher? What sort of material was there originally? All I can see is a maybe 1/4" shim atop the splasher on either side under bolt #3 at the center post. (Photo DSCN3035) I can see no evidence of shimming under bolt #1 at the front of the cowl. (DSCN3028) Need to take the rear wheel off to see the rear shims if any. The strikers hit at the very bottom of the striker plates (same with the dovetails). Looks like all should should hit 1/4' higher. Sure seems like that middle shim is "doming" the body up in the middle.
Will definitely check out those Bijur fittings. Thanks.
