Peter;
 The hard tops and truck cabs fitted to lightweights are standard series
2/3 units.
The lightweight body is slightly narrower than the standard series. In
the case of the hard top the sides spring in at the doords and at the
rear there is a slight overhang, perhaps a quarter to a half inch per
side. In the case of the truck cab, the cabv width is reduced by
drilling out the spot welds between the rear stiffening strip and the
curved end stiffening strips, this permits the ends to bend slightly to
make the sides align and the doors close. I have personally performed
this operation several times. The Rover Co did it too.
