    Need dimensions please for narrow rocker deco 65-66

    I want to install narrow rocker deco strips on my 65/66 911 but do not have any screw holes to start with (Rockers were replaced about 20 years ago). I could use some help from the board by asking for some close-up photos of the deco ends mounted and some dimensions from the "front deco tip-leading edge of door", "rear deco tip-torsion arm plate", and "top edge of rocker-top edge of deco strip".

    Any help and photos would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Side Decos

    The 1965/66 center rubber is about 10 mm use that as a reference. It is about the space the deco is down from the door gap. It seems to be aligned to the center (or close to the center) of the Torsion bar cover on the red car. Tape them in place using a hard measurement down from the door gap. Then try it centered to that cover. Pick the best height spot.

    Front to back - see the photos for starting and ending. Both samples start near the TB cover.

    As a comparison here is the 1967 911S. Look at the spacing down from the door and how far in front of the torsion bar cover. Note the "S" is a longer deco and how it can be level to the door but above center of the torsion bar cover???

    Note: if body work has been done to your car you are the mercy of the prior body work. Between these two examples where is yours? Judge accordingly.
