Help! Can someone measure their kick plates for me?

[Chris71]

Before I say this, I will point out I realise the issue here probably originated one Friday afternoon on the production line at Blackpool and has nothing to do with the company that supplied the aftermarket bits, but...

My nice shiny new kick plates don't fit! On the passenger's side it's more or less okay, but on the driver's side the sill is a couple of millimetres narrower and the kick plate sticks out fractionally.

The kick plates - on both sides - are 79mm (3" 1/8th) wide. Can someone else measure their's to compare pelase?

I'm debating what to do. The projection isn't big enough to notice unless you're looking, but I'm rather reluctant to fit them.

ETA Just spoken to the company that supplied them and their customer service really has been first rate given it's not their problem.

3 and an 1/8" to edge of kick plate



Nearly 3 and 3/8" to upstand



HTH Mike.

Thanks Mike, are they flush to the outside edge of the sill the whole way or do you have a bit of projection too?

I'm wondering if it might just turn out to be a 'they all do that Sir' issue. Two TVRs in, I'm starting to get a feel for the panel gaps!

Chris they touch at each end (although the radius of the sill is not as sharp as the bend in the metal) but there is a little gap part way along, as if the sill is not quite straight ?
