MK2 Side Pod replicas

[idefix]

Any news about the fitting of the pods kilaz?

 

[kilazz]

short holiday break, not fully fitted yet, last time it looked like this, i think its worth the money

 

[idefix]

Nice!
I want so see more pics of the progress
Was it a straight fit or did you have to make any modifications?

BTW
Where did you get that OEM side skirt from?
And why did you replace it?
The side-skirt you listed on ebay doesn't look that bad...

Can anybody provide me a more detailed picture of the two fixing holes?
Or does anybody know the diameter of the holes/which drill bit needs to be used?
Do both holes have the same size?

The MK1 pods i have are slighty different at this position.
What size did you use kilazz?

The only useful picture i've found is from Carl's body-panel thread:

How are the mk2 pods fixed at this position?
Does the screw go completely through the first hole or not?

The screw goes completely through the first hole with second hole being smaller so you tighten it up against this and the metal captive nut bracket on the car.

Thanks a ton for the info mossy.

 

[GTTurbo]

Your very welcome Frank

Was going to get you some measurements but realised my phase 2 pods are in the top of my garage and a right pain to get too

These look like an interesting and viable alternative to the extortionately priced OEM items!

 

[RUSSO]

Can get you hole sizes tomorrow if needed Frank. But as Mossy said first hole clearance on blot head and second hole thread size.

Thanks russo.
I already finished my work on the side pods this evening.
They are ready for painting now.
Drilled the holes as they are supposed to be.
First hole in the size of the bolthead, second: threatsize.
Looked great and fitting of the pods is pretty good.

There is definately work involved with these replicas.
Cutting the fixing lugs and a lot of grinding was necessary to get a nice and even finish.
Kilazz 1st and 2nd picture shows what i mean.

They are worth the money and an amazing alternative to the massive overpriced oem pods.

And after some grinding

Will post some pictures as soon as they are painted

 

[kilazz]

this is how it look on my car, almost no difference (if any) between my genuine one and the copy

 

[Jamesv6]

[GTTurbo]

[kilazz]
