|
|
I bought my 62 from someone who had started it as a project. It didn’t have the rear side trays in it so I bought the left from WW, the right is on back order. I cant figure out how this fits in here, it seems to be too long. Help.

Wait, you had time to paint your finger nails between the pic posts?
After market parts suck.
If it were me. I'd trim the forward part of the tray. So the rear triangle meshes up with the body.
Make sure to leave enough metal to recreate the flanged bits at the forward end of the side tray.
It looks like you need to trim 3/4". Remember don't forget the flange re-fabrication. You need to measure carefully.

Agree, but don't cut anything until you make sure the engine seal and the tins fit. _________________ 1968 1500 RHD Lotus White Beetle since birth. In the hospital for major surgery
