Listers,
I'm currently fine-tuning my door gaps between the fenders on my BJ-7.  Anyway,

I have installed new doglegs. When I clamp them up to the sill at the bottom 
the doglegs flair out at the back and bottom portion (at the arched portion 
opposite the wheel) so that they are not flush with the sides of the car.  I'm 
assuming that this is not correct but instead the dogleg should be flush with 
the sides of the car.  This should be an easy fix.  All I would have to do is 
cut, grind, reweld the little stepped mounting flange on the bottom of the 
dogleg.  Before I do that I want to make sure that the dogleg part of the 
fender is supposed to be flush with the door. Any advice is greatly 
appreciated. Thanks!
