I am working on a '74 FJ40 resto project. There was some rust in the rear sill and I have replaced the entire sill with an aftermarket unit from Cool Cruisers. Although the new sill contains captured nuts for the spare tire carrier, it does not include a hole or bung for the door retainer pin. I need to weld in a bung, and since I have not yet purchased weatherstripping and do not know how much it will compress, I need some measurements from a stock tub. Would someone with a '58-74 FJ40 be kind enough to measure the distance from the center of the retainer pin hole to (1) the PS tub pillar and (2) the rear surface of the sill (as illustrated in the following pic. Thanks in advance

On my '71 I measure 18" and 1-3/8".

Thanks 4Cruisers!
Since no one else replied, I will assume yours are all the same.
