Hi

Does anyone have a picture showing the three holes in the body to attach the bracket /prop that holds the rear hatch open on a fhc?
Forgot to drill new holes in body when the car had the rear panels and floor changed and the replacement panel does not have the holes pre drilled

Have you done it yet?

What's wrong with just using the support bracket as a template? With the other end attached to the door, find the place it sits properly and mark the holes.

Have not done it yet.
I suppose that will work, but the support is angled and I guess there is a sweet spot were it should be attached to the body. So that the hatch doesnt open too much or too little

Does this help?
The mount bracket is 7 inch from the centre of the boot hatch.
