Perhaps a very dumb question, but are there differences in measurements between left and right hand drive transporters? I assume no, but I do wonder if it affects how you do your measurements.

Great progress! SC and busses have the same frame but these things were not accurate. Mine did not match left to right so defiantly not bus to bus. I think +/- 2mm everywhere would be optimistic.
