[bottom rung]

Does anyone have a group of pics of the spacing and number of the holes needed to fit deluxe belt line trim to the various panels on an early bay? Ta!

I found this overhere and i used it myself.

I couldn't find the dressmaking tape measure so I had to use a steel rule, and some of the measurements might seem a bit odd, but they are as close as I could get using this rule, so hopefully they'll be useful

I don't have the original o/s cab door or the o/s sliding door cover so I wasn't able to get any measurements for them. I also didn't measure the o/s rear corner - but the hole positions looked the same as the n/s rear corner - but if you want me to measure them I will

I didn't measure the position of the holes - in relation the swage line as they looked bang on central to me.

7 holes
Centre of Hole 1 is 38mm from front edge of door

Next there's a gap of 29mm from centre of Hole 3 to the left most edge of the wing mirror hole
There's also a 29mm gap from the right most edge of the wing mirror hole to the centre of Hole 4
Centre of Hole 5 is 233mm from centre of Hole 4

If you are using old trim there are normally marks on the back to help decide on the spacing. Also with old ones it is worth moving them a couple of mm to help get a tight fit. The door piller takes 2 clips.

The most important bit is to get it dead level. I started with the doors and used the mirrors as a centre line, I used masking tape and a meter rule and my eye. Once I had a line all of the way around that I was happy with I started marking the holes.

The hardest pieces are the rear corners, the ends are easy but it is difficult to level the centre.

Good luck.
