welcome to come and measure stuff graham , even take one of my ally doors to compare. Thanks Robert, but I think I now have it sorted. I tried fitting up the driver side door and that was a good fit, the door gaps as previously mentioned were neigh on identical in size, so it could only be the door itself… After a bit of measuring between doors it is obvious the doors /skins are different sizes. The drivers door measures 93mm from the bottom of the lower hinge to the bottom of the door skin. 
The passenger door same location measures 98mm. 2 spare doors Dad had, measure ~ 92mm and ~94mm Also, the check strap brackets, when compared to a spare door, are bent slightly outwards, or the doors have been strained around them. This is partly why the brackets do not fit inside the holes in the A pillar, but I think that can be corrected once the door skin is off. So after trimming the passenger door skin down to suit the size of the driver door, it all fits reasonable well. On 15th Jan, 2020 Tom Fenton said:
Plenty of welding clamps out there with swivel pads. Eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Irwin-Original-Loc...la-382971043560 Tom, I have some like that, but I am not sure they are going to achieve what I am looking to do, or rather function in the way I would like them to, but I have an idea on how to make what I think I need. 
These are what are supplied as the full kit for the TIG Spot welding, I was loathed to pay the extra for the full kit as opposed to just the “nozzles”, not thinking about the requirements of flat clamping, supporting around the weld and heat sink. So, I now basically want to replicate this, which I will try to do with a set of normal grips and some steel… Edited by Graham T on 16th Jan, 2020. ’77 Clubman build thread
