B pillar trim

[rasspe]

Hello everyone

Just joined the forum and the info is so valuable and have now purchased my first Stag a nice Mk1 that is sporting a rover v8 but after many years with land rovers I know this engine well.

I am struggling with trying to fit some chrome trims to the B post to protect the padding but am not sure as to the following

Does it rivet to the existing holes in the post trim

Or

Do you make new holes

I welcome your comments

Regards

Richard

Hi Richard,

welcome, they screw to the post, what you could find, like me, the screws could have snapped off and are blocking the hole, i have had a couple like this, i replaced them with stainless, fiddly job but worth the extra effort.

hope this helps

.... right up until the moment when you drop a screw in a box section and can't fish it out with a magnet on a stick !
