I have the covers, and I have the cleats. I've seen the general location of where the cleats go, but was hoping for more detailed positioning. '72 military 181...would there be some dimples as markers under the layers of paint? All help is much appreciated.

There would have to be if the fenders are original to the car. It would have come with them and someone would have to have taken them off or ground them down during it's restoration.

Here is a photo of your car in Germany before it was restored. You can see the mounts.

That's awesome. Guess I'll gently poke around and see if I can find remnants of the locations.

I should visit thesamba more often. I hope this is still useful, though. Measurements are in millimeters.
