Fitment should be the same. Members have swapped FB fenders, bumpers and doors to SAs.

the character crease above the molding on the outer skin is slightly different - other than that they're practically the same.

^^this man is correct. the only difference is the moulding area on the outer skin. the door will bolt up and work perfectly SA to FB or FB to SA.

door panel mounting changes too.

I just need it to bolt up open and close...

Im buying a matching set of left and right fiber glass doors this week i hope and i want to make sure it at least does the simple functions...

Ima transfer my lexan windows that are on my stock doors over to the fiber glass ones and call it a day...

There are some other slight changes as well the SA doors do not have the provision for power windows so the wiring opening on the leading edge of the door is extremely small, nor are the mounting holes on the bottom of the door for the power regulator.

Of course if these things matter if the swap was going SA to FB so it shouldn't matter. Would be interested in knowing where you got the doors from, a cost on them and if you are happy with them I have a car that could use them as well

Who sells fiberglass doors? I didn't know anybody sold them, so I made my own SA right side door shell out of fiberglass. No window, no hinges, attaches by Dzus fasteners. Weighs in at 6 pounds (stock SA door with Glass and manual cranks was 60 pounds.)

teddyrx2 01-08-10 03:33 AM

Those doors you made are 2lbs lighter than the ones im getting...but no bad tho brotha...

Mines are weighing in at 8lbs maybe just a little less from what the seller told me..
