Jim 123 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I am trying to fit the Knee Trims on my 270 Kit, and would appreciate feedback from anyone who been down this road please.When you compare the fixing holes on the Knee Trims with the corresponding fixing holes in the foot well sides, everything matches in terms of hole spacing..However, when I place the Knee Trims in position, I can not get more than the front most Knee Trim fixing holes to line up with the holes in the foot well sides. As you come rearwards, the Knee Trim holes increasingly sit lower than their counterparts on the foot well sides. The rear edges of the Knee Trims are each slotted behind the fascia, and will not come any higher up without fouling things like the wiper motor.It looks like the only option will be to offer up the Knee Trims into the optimum position, and re-drill new holes in the Knee Trims using the foot well fixing apertures as my guide. Am I missing something obvious? Or is the only option to re-drill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russjones Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Jim post some pictures to its with your enquiry - I am sure no drilling will be needed - built a 360 last year and I didn't have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yes, photos please.Are you one or more (possibly not yet existing) holes out on the position?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 123 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks guys photos hopefully attached and legible. There's a lot of black stuff in there.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Can't tell from those photos. How about finding a 7 with them already fitted and seeing where the difference lies?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 In both 7's I've built I couldn't get the knee panel holes lined up so I placed them to where they looked 'about right', then drilled through and fitted the self tappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Likewise, I just put them where they looked right and drilled new holes as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I went the other way around. Used the existing rivet holes but "relieved" the panels appropriately at the top so they fitted in OK.mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Garry7 Posted February 19, 2016 Leadership Team Share Posted February 19, 2016 I didn't drill mine at all, just a bit of judicious bending of the angled part that tucks under the scuttle.When you fit them, think about a bit of anti seize along the edge that tucks behind the rubber. They are a real swine to get off when changing the screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Can you get a tool behind to reach the stanchion nut after these are fitted?And if you can is there any reason to use screws rather than rivets?ThanksJonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
