hi all has anyone ever fitted a tailgate from an prototype bay into a latebay? I purchased was I was told was a latebay tailgate ( didn't realise they are different fitting holes) anyway did all the prep work and primed then I thought I would test fit to check gaps etc and boom I discovered they are different. is there any shortcut to make it fit or should I sell it and buy a new one. cheers in anticipation
Sell it. Not sure even replacing the entire mechanism would end with the door in the right place, at a glance similar but you can't mix and match pieces of the mech like you may be thinking.
You can make them fit, but it’s a lot of cocking about, moving and rewelding the captive nut mounts, Just source a later panel! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sent they a different shape I know when I rang just Kampers to order a seal they said one was square at the top corners and the other was more round
Think you’re right, never done it myself, but I think the one I’ve seen done before was a late to an early!
just thought you might like to see the photos to see the difference between early and latebay tailgate hinge captive nut locations. you learn something new everyday. cheers
