Vitesse 1600/6 - Carpet Stainless Steel Sill Strip

[martyn wright]

Hi  Unfortunately the photos are not the best!    Photo 1 - From the B Post to the first screw was 50mm, 

From screw 1 to screw 2 was 200mm then from screw 2 to screw 3 and onwards the is 170mm between screws!  I dont know why it was 50mm then 200mm??  Pic 2 shows 170mm and this carried on to the end (screw 6)!  Pic 3 - X shows screw holes on edge of inner plinth and 2nd X shows door rubber seal.   It might be an Idea just to setup the Rail and using your own judgement drill the holes?  I filled the holes with white powder for a better picture??

That's great Martyn, thanks very much.  I'll mark it up to match yours and see how it all looks.  I must admit I'd be tempted to even up the 170/200 gaps though.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave!  Yes adjust the gaps!  I have never had carpet rails on the car but now that I am restoring her, I have found a second hand set! to finish it off.

Cheers Martyn

Hi Paul !  They are like Gold Dust!  Tried loads of places including Breakers!  Try "Chick Doig" it cost me £10.   You tend to get the Regulator without the pivot?  Its 30mm length, Hope this helps

I am surprised?. I would not think it was beyond the capabilities of someone with access to a lathe, to produce a small batch?. Or even a "one off"?.
