My car had the interior removed before I got it, but it was all there. I cannot figure out where these four thin metal pieces came from. They have carpet remnants stuck to them, but I can't figure out how they set in there. Anyone have any pics to illustrate the location of these four pieces. There are some screw holes in them, but they don't seem to line up with any of the holes anywhere on the floor. Thanks

Those tin pieces are screwed to the rockers to protect the wiring that is run under them. Each side has 3 pieces.

Uh-oh. I only have 4 pieces total. Any suggestions that don't involve hunting them down on Ebay. I don't recall ever seeing them in the catalogs.

There are only 2 per side not 3...

I think he meant that each side uses three screws to attach them. Only four pieces are needed. They overlap in the center with one screw through both pieces, and a screw at each end. There is a driver side, and passenger side, so be aware that they are different.

I thought that they went there, but after mixing and switching pieces, never could get them to set in there in a way that looked right. I'll try it again. :)

I'll try to remember to take a pic when I get to the shop

Yah that is what I meant to say, sorry for the confusion.

No problem. If you can confuse me more than I already am, you have done something pretty spectacular. :)

I'm still waiting for those pictures you send you were gonna send about the fram rails. Or did you figure it out?

Here are some pics of them in the car

Gene, no way did I think those went like that. So, the sill plates sit on top of them? Thank you.

The carpet lays on top of the plates. Then the sill plates goes on top. The sill plates hold the carpet in place.

Yep Everetts got you covered :)

FYI convert and coupe are different...

Are these pieces really needed, i'm not going all original....?

The carpet may not lay out smoothly with out them

Not really needed, but, they give the carpet a well-rounded look. If you get flat carpet, there won't be much support.

A molded carpet will look just plain funky because the carpet will have to do a reverse bend at the rockers, it won't lay correctly.

I just saw these on e-bay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7971557055&category=33705

Those are only for the drivers side. Whole car needs 4 pieces.

um..ok

Is this something I can make out of sheetmetal...?

You might be able to make something that would function okay but it would be very hard to repoduce them exactly. I might have a full set for a coupe, if you can't find any.

If Gene cannot find his, I have a coupe set available. PM me for price.
