Title: Diablo jamb/roof pillar/cowl assembly
Post by: gtxdon on December 27, 2012, 12:00:35 AM

I have been trying to find pictures and diagrams of the Diablo's door jamb/roof pillar assembly. Basically the jamb and sill with the door, quarter panel and front fender removed. The rear quarter is held on by screws in the jamb and bolts underneath, same with the rocker, Eurospares  only shows the quarter. I'm looking for pics of the jamb/pillar/roof panel and cowl assembly.

Look on Lambostuff.com. Just open an account (all thats needed is a email address), then select the model and year you want to see.

It's the coupe. I know that the cowl, windshield pillar and roof are one assembly that attaches above the rear window but it's hard to tell how the back of the door jamb/sill assembly is joined to the roof panel assembly. It looks like the jamb and sill are one piece attached to the frame behind the rocker. I'm assuming whatever structure joins the jamb to the roof panel or it's frame is covered by trim and weatherstrip, but I would like to see if it's just a simple square or round tube or a formed support. Thanks.

String do you have more pics like that of a coupe, but showing more of the rear firewall inside?
thanks

This is the best of the roof panel B-pillar join.

Most I have are of the roadster, or coupe's with the roof cut off - I don't know why, such as this...
