'Elan +2' badge position and cill trim position?
6 posts
• Page 1 of 1
I filled the original holes for the front wing badge and the stainless cill trims when prepping the shell before paint with the intention of re drilling when the time came (which is now).
Would anyone be so kind as to measure for me the locations of these items so that I can re fix them?
Photos with measurements or a quick skect would be ideal.
TIA
Jon

Hi There
I also have the same issue on my car, although I am to blame for the cill holes being filled in. The bodyshop that prepped the car actually filled in the windscreen wiper holes! They were doing an EV conversion on the car (before I bought it) and must have had some hare brained idea for the wiper system.
I actually think the car looks better without the cill strips. As long as the bottom lip of the cill is painted black that is.
While we are on the subject the jacking point holes of my other plus 2 have been filled in.
All the best

Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.

The cill trim clip holes are 1" down from the cill door opening. Measuring from the rear the hole centres are 3" ,
9-3/4" , 17" , 24-1/4" , 31-1/2" , 38-1/4" , 46" , 53" , 60-1/2" , 67-3/4" . 10 holes in total.
Maybe you might want to drill fresh holes and miss these ?
The Badge holes are 4-1/8" up from the cill level and measuring in from the A post the first hole is at 1-1/2" second at 6-7/8" . Making the badge pins at 5-3/8" centres. [Check your badge]
