“black” oversize screw.

• There are no pre-drilled holes for the securing screws.
– Measure holes according to the table below.
– Mark holes for securing screws with centre punch.
– Drill out holes with a 1.5 mm drill bit.

♦

For two-door vehicles, determine dimension -k- in height to the front holes.

The table follows.

Dimension -a-

= 855 mm

Dimension -b-

= 822 mm

Dimension -c-

= 617 mm

Dimension -d-

= 411 mm

Dimension -e-

= 205 mm

Dimension -f-

= 205 mm

Dimension -g-

= 411 mm

Dimension -h-

= 617 mm

Dimension -i-

= 822 mm

Dimension -k-
