#1 Rear roof lining grippers and interior light

Post by phoenix » Sat May 13, 2023 9:08 am

Hi. How do I attach the two roof lining grippers which seem to have 4 0r 5 very small holes. I have found corresponding holes on the bodywork but they a quite a bit bigger. ( grippers new) Screws or pop rivets . Screws I would think myself.
Next is there another interior light somewhere near the drivers side B pillar .
Also should I put sound deadening felt under the Hardura of the seats.

Thanks guys actually getting there close to finishing it has been an enjoyable (mostly) adventure building one from bare shell and not having taken it apart .

There is only one interior light should be fitted center rear.

Pop rivets, not screws. I think they are 3/32" diameter.
