Default Side Skirt Fitment

Just a quick question, how are the skirts attached on an AUII/III (non XR), thinking of fitted a set to my spack. I need to know where the skirts are screwed in.

Cheers,

Adrian.

They are normally sikaflexed on, with one screw in each of the front and rear wheel arches.

Yes and no. In addition to those plastic screws, I've used a couple of self tappers on mine. I also used addition screwes to hold the skirt to the sill properly, but don't recommend doing this as you can see the screw tops ones the doors are closed.

How hard is it to get them off once they're on, with the sikaflex and all? I'm after some of the series III standard sort of skirts for my series one, just after something without going the whole bodykit option at this stage! I've called every wreckers in Brissy and no luck, so if anyone has any they've taken off to put on a kit, give me a yell! Cheers, Matt.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but it's still kind of on topic!

Those bloody little plastic clips are so painful to get back in. Anyone got any suggestions!

Try ozewreck I believe they are called. They are located just off Moss street in Underwood. They are the guys selling all the Au engines cheap on ebay. I know they have them.

go to ford, theyre 20c each. or 18. you need the BA ones, i can dog up a p/n if you need. The old ones will not fit. Theyre just barely too short (as you know by now).

I would appreciate that. I originally got Au ones & no go. Then I took a clip in & they said they are EF's ones!. Hence I have only fitted one so far. If you could get a p/n that would be great.
