I don't recall these parts - its been too long.
 
I see this as an excellent opportunity for someone at this stage to document
these parts with pictures and dimensions.

Joel the GT style door panels had a sort of fibre spacer behind each of the
penetration for screws, window winders handles, this is due to the  spaced
mounting tabs on GT doors that hold the trim panel out to align with the
depth of the waist roll along the top.

While still waiting for inside door/vent window finishing strip to be re
chromed (pure pain) , we were fitting up the door panels for a test fit and
came away with the following questions.

The door panel/card attaches to the door via 4 - 1/2 holes at the top.  We
bought SS DP57 (door panel clip 28 per car needed) and DP57S, plastic sleeve
for door panel clip - 10-12 per car needed.  The DP57S would go into a 3/8"
hole but my car holes are 1/2" with no sign of having been drilled out.
What do we put in holes to attach the 4 -   1/4 clips DP57 clips?
Options/suggestions?

The door pull handle mounts with 2 screws to recessed nut(captive?) in the
door itself.  There must be some kind of spacer that goes 'behind' the panel
otherwise if you we to tighten the screws  on the door pull handle it would
crease the new panel as there is about a 1/2" air gap between the door panel
and the door itself.

Appears from the door and the old door card, based on indentations, there
was a 1/ 1/2" fiber or plastic diameter washer with, I would guess a 3/8"
hole to receive each screw.  SS lists nothing in catalog for this and am
wondering what was suppose to go behind the door card , glued on?", and the
door itself so as to not crush the new door card when attaching the door
handle?  Options/suggestions?

Joel Martin
