Hey guys, I'm looking for an accurate OEM measurement so I can finish welding in this Dutchman panel. I guess I'll call them trunk hinge brackets and I'm not finding my disassembly notes on that. I'm hoping that some of you could obtain a measurement between the two points I'm pointing at in the pictures. I currently am able to move them at least 1/4" in each direction and am looking for a factory original to compare with. I'd prefer it be a 70, although it may not matter the year. Probably looking to be around 44-1/2"? It's definitely a stopping point so I won't proceed until I know. TIA

I measured 44" on mine.   70 Challenger.  All original metal, no accidents that I know of.

@Dakota thanks. Very helpful! I wonder if ma Mopar had a tolerance on these, if they were set with a jig for production ease, etc.
