Default ??? - factory spec on door gaps - anyone know?

I know I've seen this somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't seem to fine it. as the title says, does anyone know the factory spec for the door gaps. as part of my 85's door rebuild, I've adjusted the drivers door because of a closing issue. I've set the door rear edge gap around .150" (average). I figure that the rear edge gap is the starting point since the hood and front fender pieces are adjustable and the rear quarter panel/body jamb is fixed. the door closes better than it ever has, so I figure I'm in the ballpark. just curious how close I am to spec. TIA

My memory is 5mm. I remember spending a bit of time in the helms manual a while back. If I get out to the garage this weekend, I will try to look it up.
