Atlas GP7 shell (China) on a LL GP9 split frame chassis?

Can anyone confirm that this will work? I have a GP9r chassis that I would like to put an Atlas shell on.

Can someone use a caliper and measure the inside of the Atlas shell?

Thanks, guys.

Pretty sure it would work just fine.

Here's another illustration. You're right to order the shell.

 

The GP9r chassis is not the same as the GP18 or GP20. It is in fact wider. The frame halves are different than the other two. Everything else is the same.

 

The Atlas GP7/9 and the LL GP18/20 shells WILL NOT fit under the LL/Canada GP9R. The chassis is too wide and too long, requiring major surgery to make them fit.

GP9R equiped with Atlas GP9 walkway and SD26 cab. The walkway needed to be notched at the end. The Atlas GP9 shell will not fit.

To conclude this thread......

I recieved my Atlas GP7 shell. I took the shell off of my GP9r (lifelike) and the Atlas shell fit on the lifelike chassis perfectly.

Could someone with a LL GP18 chassis let me know the width and length in mm? That way I can reference it against my GP9r chassis.

I don't have calipers, but with a metal rule I come up with 3 28/64" long by 24/64" wide. Oops, you asked for millimeters: 87mm X 9.5mm.
