[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

Agreed, I got the information from Roger Moment.

Someone expressed skepticism that the holes in the sockets were designed to be offset in order to provide eccentric adjustment for the side screens.  I verified with Curt Arndt who is on the Concours committee that this was the purpose of the offset. If contemporary sockets are supplied with holes on-center it is possible that someone simply didn't grasp the subtlety of the design.  In any case all four of the sockets on my car are properly off-center.

Roland, Thanks for the information. I have some ideas on getting the parts done and hope they will turn out “jewel like”. “Nearly useless” actually describes the entire car, but some people spend much more on a few dabs of paint to hang on the wall. At least I can jump in it now and then and go for a bag or two of groceries...

Michael--

The holes are eccentric or off-center to provide slight adjustability in moving the curtain a bit forward or aft on the door as well as to allow for slightly different distances between the insert rods, etc.

I am installing the side curtain sockets in the doors of my BN2.  These sockets are new from Moss.  Am I missing something?  The hole through the center of the socket is offset from the center.  Is it supposed to be like that and why?  Also, not exactly a flush fit to the door skin, but very tight in the threaded hole.  Kind of a bummer.
