I'm posting this in a few different places, so please excuse any duplicates.

For those people who may have an MGA chassis or frame with body off, can you measure the inside and outside width of the frame where the rear bumper brackets attach? I would like measurements from two or three different frames to verify consistency (or amount of possible variation). I need this for a wheel chair lift I'm working on that will attach to the frame similar to a trailer hitch bracket.

Sure thing Barney - give me a couple hours and I'll be back with mine from a '57.
