Frustrating but the alternative would be to paint and then risk messing it up either by drilling in the wrong place or worse.
This includes lights, bonnet locks etc. Given I haven't bought these yet I've started on the fuel filler and rear nudge bar and overriders.
The rebated filler position on the AK is created deliberately to allow the Aston type filler cap to fit and still pass the IVA.
Whilst it's not strictly round hence the trianglular 'centre point' this is good enough to cut the hole for the underside of the filler flange to sit in the right place.
See below, now just need to decide how to fix it down. Bolts and nuts, self rappers or adhesive.
I need to acquire the right hose and then cut through the inner wing to feed into boot for tank connection.
The nudge bar overriders set up holes are marked on the body.
Using a level and comparing to boot floor mountin positions over the read rail I can see these are in an accurate position so just drill carefully and open out.
Photo below before I'd added the studding for lower position in overriders.
Will get another photo of fully positioned soon.
Just need to source some grommets to help protect paintwork and keep the elements out too.
