And/or, call Jim Carter, he might have pieces of used channel.

Part number CB350 it is expensive at $16 a pop. When I replaced my inner cowls I used these pieces I purchased from JC and they worked great. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Brad: I had not noticed this in Carters catalog so THANKS for mentioning it. I need one piece about that long. I was going to get a "tin bender" to make me a small piece but for $17 and couple for shipping I don't think I can beat that. Thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | Question:
The body man took the passenger side loose from the kickpanel up to the top of the door. I have noticed he replaced it with flat head screws. It appears the rubber will hit the heads of these screws and not be able to slide through. I don't have a spot welder so how do I deal with this?
