Hole measurements in lower front panel. To take over rider supports.

#1 Post by DJP »

Hi all,
Just thought while James was in the mood for measuring, could he give a definitive measurement for the two holes in the bottom front panel to take the over rider supports. I have an early car that at some point has had a later panel without holes. Also the hole size.
Thanks in advance. Dave.

Check out James' thread mate, he should be able to help you.

I can do that Dave, I'll take them again from Lees car and add them into the first post. They are in the link somewhere that Murdo posted when I did Shaun's car.

I checked the post again and found this, I think this may be them.

That’s great Murdo,
Thanks. Now it’s being brave enough to do it.
