Rob, if you look at that picture of my car that you posted, right above the number 78 you can kinda make out the sill protector. They're made of really thin fiberglass, covered in vinyl to match the upholstery, and/or dash. They run from the scuttle back and up the front quarter round of the rear bodywork. I would think Dennis would still be able to make these up John

Stilll tryiing to buff out the leftovers from those damn NOPI stickers, 10 years later. Back on the road this year, I swear, really john

Wow, yep that's my baby. That was about 7-8 years ago, the little guy standing in the passenger seat is in 10th grade now. Gotta get that puppy back on the road. Cheers, John

The later style brackets do mount lower. I measured 4 3/8" to the bolt that you measured at 5". The later brackets (mine at least) are an off the shelf Tilton item mounted atop 1"x2" steel tubing. Hello to all on the forum, I've been lurking for a while but the mood finally struck me to post. I met Rob a few months back when he came down to look at my Rotus with an eye towards a purchase. Mine right now needs more work than he wanted to get into. I'm glad you found a Seven Rob! This forum has helped spur me to get into the garage and get the Rotus back on the road.
