Centre line height of sidewinder

[alan.barker]

Could someone confirm "center line height" for sidewinder. Is it the center of the chrome screw/coach bolt holding end of Front Bumper please.
Thanks in advance

i can measure it for you but what i dont understand what hole centerline you need. i have my bumper off.

[alan.barker]

At each end of the Bumper there is a hole.
The chrome domed bolt goes through the hole and into a hole in the Body to attach the Bumper.
I understand the join in the two tone colour of Sprints is the same height as the center line of the hole.

From the bumper end to center its 1.25. on my bumper the whole is not center with the bumper and i have a nos federal bumper but the whole is in the same spot. good luck

Why has painter stopped short of the edge of the door? Won’t you see the bit left blue when the door is fitted? Hopefully not.

That is where the original Sidewinders stop. The Sidewinder end goes round the corner just a little as original. No mistake has been made. My painter said he could continue right to rubber Door Seal and i said no thanks i would like it as original.

Alan, very O.E.M. that eh?

Thanks,
When my Sprint had the stick on Sidewinders they went just round the corner to hide edges and enable to put some varnish to stop them peeling off.
With the Doors closed no lack of Gold Line could be seen. If we had painted into Door shuts to rubber weather seal it would be very different. We wanted to achieve original look but with the advantage of Painted Sidewinders. A personal choice of course. My Sprint has been finished with 2 Coats of Laquer/Varnish and there are NO STEPS between the changes of Paint. If you slide your fingers over the Paint you feel NO STEPS. My personal choice and the Bonus is the Sidewinder and Bumpers are EXACTLY the same colour, same Paint.
Maybe others prefer Stick On Sidewinders and Bumpers different shade of Gold .
