Re: Replacement sills If I remember rightly they do two qualities.
The cheaper ones came without seat belt mountings so I bought the more expensive ones.
They fitted as well as any other non-genuine panel ie they took a bit of persuasion here and there but basically they were fine.

Re: Replacement sills old car has no seatbelt mounts on the sills
newer has them fitted
its a pain trying to get decent mounts fitted to non mount sills and, unless your good, would you trust them in a bump?
as for the quality of City supplied ones i cant say as i never use them
Various manufactured sills had various issues - too long, too narrow, not enough rocker etc and all needed a degree of skill/experience to fit properly.
A Red coated set from the other main supplier were by far the best ive used.

Re: Replacement sills Check the wing mount stud, I've had several sills where it's been positioned way off.

Re: Replacement sills Buy from ECAS. Roy only stocks and sells what he feels is best quality, not best price.

Re: Replacement sills I'm sure it's been rectified in the years since but, the last (and only) time I had a pair of sills from "Up North", the seat belt mounts had M10 threads in and not the correct imperial thread for seatbelt bolts rendering them absolutely bloody useless! I ended up cutting them open and welding the correct mounts into them as I'd not bothered to check them before welding them in!
