The body is off and I want to cut in a hatch in the floor to be able to fill the master.
Without putting the body back on, does anybody have measurements as to where the hatch would go? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I have one under my 58 that i'm working on. There probably is a variation between brands & I'm not sure which one I have but it looks like a CPP. Also it would matter if you have power or not.

Don't you already have a fill hole in the cab floor? If it were me, I would:
- attach the stock MC to the frame
- measure the stock MC fill cap location with respect to some frame landmarks
- replace the stock MC with your dual MC
- measure the dual MC fill point location with respect to the same frame landmarks
- determine the offset of the stock MC to the dual MC
- transfer the offset to the stock MC fill hole on the cab floor to find where your hatch needs to be
I'd expect this to give you data that better applies to your particular frame/cab and dual MC.
