Some more details please. Do they have a grain texture finish as OEM or completely smooth? Just black gel-coat or painted? Hard to tell from the pics. Who was your supplier by the way?
thanks,
SFE

Do they have a grain texture finish = NO SMOOTH GLASS LIKE FINISH ON TOP AND ROUGH FIBIREGLASS UNDERSIDE. IF YOU HAVE A BLACK INTERIOR YOU WANT EVEN NEED TO PAINT THEM. SUPPLIER = http://www.mageemotorsport.com/ COST $100 POUNDS INCLUDING SHIPPING... SHOULD HAVE GOT A FEW MORE TO SELL VERY NICE ITEM.

I bought a set of these a while ago with the intent of making up the fitting studs on the back to use in street cars. Being motorsport items they are just meant to screw onto the C pillar. Haven't had time due to work but was thinking of getting some sets made up for sale. Nice bit of kit- postage over was a killer.

Yes postage was 50% of total cost, car at trimmers so when it gets back will add a few photos. Chris

Hi All,
Today's burning question- on the back of your C pillar trims- how many plastic mounting pegs - 3 or 4. Seems Pommie ones have 4, my examples have 3 and a small screw hole in the top corner to fix to body. Can anyone confirm visually or diagram from parts manual?
Cheers,
Len

Attached scan from parts book shows "c" pillar trims as part numbers 31112/3 and 6 clips (3 each side) as part number 120254ES. No mention of a screw in the parts list. Phil

Thanks for that Phil, The screw in the corner might have been added by the previous owner just to make it a bit more secure or to keep it nice and flat against the pillar where it meets the hood lining. The trims were in pretty poor condition. I am making fibreglass ones so should be stiff enough not to need further fixing. I will soon know when the prototype is fitted.
Cheers,
Len

No, the screws were originally fitted by Ford.

Thanks for that Flighter, I bought a set of glass ones like Nukem, working out how to fit the mounting lugs on the inside like the original ones. Nukem- what material / method did you use to cover yours- they look very good.
Cheers, Len

Hi All,
I went and saw a local fibreglass guy about getting some moulds made up . I would need to charge about $100 a pair to make it worth my while and cover costs. I would like to gauge what sort of demand there might be to produce some copies of these, if it looks like only a few people want these then won't be worth the trouble or expense. I am looking at how to incorporate the mounting lugs in the back for those who want a standard mounting.
Also, as an aside , I don't know if reproducing someone else's work for sale contravenes any form of proprietary laws? Even if the item came from Ireland, or if adding the lugs changes the situation? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Len
