Evening. I’m tackling the next small project as I start to make my 1974 Series 3 SWB mine. I removed the thoroughly rusty/crusty rear door sill plate and rubber (?) underlayment. I then cleaned it up and repainted while ordering what I think are the right replacements from Rovers North… but for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to put them down (the parts catalogue diagram wasn’t detailed enough).

The rubber is the right size for the opening and presumably goes down first with the rounded edge sticking out. But there are no no holes in the rubber and the SS plate is too wide by a a few cms and the angles don’t seem to line up with the rubber. However The plates holes do seem to line up with the “indents” on the rear floor plate so I’m close but not quite in figuring this out.

Any advice on how to put this right? Thanks in advance

Bit missing, I think. Good work btw.

Looks like I need to order the last right angle bit. Thanks!! This community is the best.

You got the Official parts book?

I do but I must have looked at the wrong page… 2H 02 group L body rear body 88 in Shows only two parts which I ordered 330271 and the rubber. But the images are so small I could be led astray. Can you steer me to the right page? Thx

Easy

Found it! Maybe I ordered the wrong stuff. Unless the this fits on the bottom of the DOOR and what I got fits on the FLOOR. Will sort it out. Thanks.

Time to study these parts pictures more closely.
