Deluxe belt line trim - clip pitches etc

[Davydomes]

Hello the deeply righteous forum clan. Does any one have the dimensions/pitch the clips should be positioned at to fit the belt line trim? Big ask but someone out there might (fingers crossed un all that).

Fitted my deluxe trim all by myself - was straightforward enough if you dont mind drilling many many small holes into the bus
I marked a straight line all the way around on the centre of "bulge" and drilled away!
Wasnt too bad after the first dozen or so, filled each drilled hole with grease and attached the clip with a self tapper - been fine for the last 3 years or so

I looked at your build thread - Nice job!

Did you fit aftermarket trim or was it original? Who supplied the clips?

Cheers mate

Was a stainless steel aftermarket kit and the clips came as part of the kit
Didnt want to install an OG set as they go matt after a while

Think I got mine from custom and commercial

I think I taped mine on with masking tape, drew a top and bottom line with a pencil then drilled in the middle.

Like Stu says, once youve drilled a couple of them you just crack on
