George,

I can measure my doors for you, but as far as I know, they are the same 
as the earlier Land Rover doors, only made from iron.
I do not know if my doors bottoms are the original (NOS) doors, but they 
were made in Belgium. They are to nice to be 53 years old and on the car.
My door tops are old and very rusty, and will be exchanged in the winter 
by new ones, bought at van der Put in Belgium, one of the few Minerva 
parts sources. He has a lot of military Minerva stock, but some parts 
are remade, by example the exhausts.

Greetings from Holland,

Coen Caminada
