Deluxe belt line trim

[vw_mad]

Does any body have the measurements of each bit of trim to were that bits goes on the van please .
I have a rhd early bay but have 9 long lengths and just want to make sure I get them in the right place and also to check I have the right bits .
I am also missing a right hand side rear corner as I seem to have 2 left hand side rear corners .
Any help would be great before I start drilling holes in my van

This is some old info I found on another US forum:
Here are the measurements for the holes

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
Centre of Hole 2 is 115mm from centre of Hole 1
Centre of Hole 3 is 116mm from centre of Hole 2
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

I think i have a corner cant remember which side will take a look and get back to you

 

[vinvan]

Bad news mine is also a left side (near side) sorry

 

[vw_mad]

Thanks for checking for me .
I have this info for holes etc but just wanted to check lengths as I have some extra bits but they are all slightly different lengths

I fitted my old ones a few weeks ago and forgot where they all went. (Since I'd removed them)

If you go round the van like a jigsaw and hold them up against the body, most are pretty obvious which one goes where just for length. Took about 15mins to solve the puzzle if I remember.

Most stop where there are seam/panel joins etc which makes it easier

The door ones are obvious (shorter) the sliding door one has a curved end where it meets the hinge end.

Label them with a permanent marker when you've found which ones which, then it'll just rub off with a little spirit/thinner after you've fit them.

That's exactly what we have done - almost to the letter. Now got to have the bravery to drill the new paint work

Nice sharp fresh drill bits and masking tape over the place of drilling and you'll be fine

Change the drillbits after every 20 or so holes. I just use the erbauer (spelling?) ones from screwfix.

Blunt ones are handy to keep for drilling plastic/fibreglass as they don't split it as easily
