I'm swapping out the stock Firebird flat door panels for the GTA style panels. In doing that the metal bracket that the arm rests screws into is different. I have the new metal bracket, but I forgot to take a reference picture of the door it came out of to line up the bracket completely. Holes don't line up at all with the old bracket. Anyone have a photo of a door with the door panel removed that has the bracket?

 

Post #5 has some pictures. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...oor-panel.html

I don't know if that helps or not.

 

Im doing the same mod and waiting on the parts to be delivered as we speak. Let me know what you figure out.

 

 

Thanks for the pic!

 

That pic is perfect. Makes sense. The new bracket sits a few inches farther back towards the rear of the door. You only use 2 of the holes on the top and the three on the bottom.

 

Are you saying there is no need to drill any new holes for the bracket?

 

No need for new holes. You will need ten 1/4" rivets and a riveter that can handle 1/4". Harbor Freight has a riveter that comes with 10 rivets for $20.

 

Great!
