Hi Ray,

You sure scoped out a pretty subtle detail. Yep, you are right. I had press in studs installed in the oval vent plates. The indents from the studs were filled in and the plate painted to match the stripes. The plates actually mounted so that they float on o-rings on the studs, between the plates and the body. The plates by the way were made by Mike Coates in Canada who did a great job. They have a rolled edge that I think has a more finished look.

I also noted that you asked for spring and shock measurements in another post. I will make those from measurements from on my car and post that information in the original thread on Tuesday.

Bob
