the raised areas of the floor pan. Make sure

they seat flatly on the floor, however they

need not be perfectly aligned at this time.

18. Temporarily insert the A-Pillar assembly

into the space between the end of the dash

and the forward door jamb. Visually align the

curved edges of the A-Pillar with the curve of

the dash’s plastic fascia. The steel A-Pillar

will snugly recess into this space (where

the plastic dash end cap was removed in a

previous step), but some minor trimming at

the top and bottom edges of the plastic fascia

will be required. Use a fine-tip felt marker

to mark where the edge of the dash fascia

will need to be trimmed, at the top and the

bottom where the A-Pillar plate extends past

the border of the fascia.

19. Use a pneumatic body saw, die grinder,

or similar cutting tool to trim the edge of the

plastic dash fascia above and below the marks

made in the previous step. Note that the steel

A-Pillar Plate is 3/16” thick, but you may not

need to remove quite that much material.

Take off a little at a time and re-fit the A-Pillar

Plate between each pass, to ensure that you

don’t remove too much material. Patience

will result in the cleanest results. Once the

cuts have been made to fit, use sandpaper to

clean up the edges of the cuts.

20. Insert one of the supplied 1/4-20 clip-nuts

into each of the three rectangular tabs along

the inside edge of the dash fascia.

FIGURE 17

21. Take the A-Pillar Fill Plate, and slip it behind

the door post flange, aligned with the holes

that were previously drilled. Remember that

the Fill Plate has a top and bottom, make

sure it is oriented correctly. While holding it

in place, insert three (3) of the 3/8-24 X 1-1/4

Gr8 Hex Head Cap Screws through the holes

in the door post flange, into the holes in the Fill

Plate. Use a supplied 3/8 Flat Washer under

the head of each Cap Screw. Insert them just

far enough to let the Fill Plate “hang” there

temporarily while completing the next step.
