T44 slider install

[ftillier]

Fit the passenger side shifter installed tonight.

A fair gap between it and the body, between 1/4 and 3/8 of an inch. Don't know if that's normal.

Can anyone else with these confirm this is how they're supposed to fit?

Apparently, the primer I put on did not bond, despite having gone over the whole thing with a wire wheel and wiped it down with acetone. Will need to strip them at some point and redo it.

Pretty disappointed.

Here's pictures of the front, and top down at the front door sill.

No help to offer, but I wouldn't be happy at all with that fit.

Did you remove the plastic plugs on the rocker/sill and all the clips from the old plastic cover? Both of these will act as a spacer.

I think the front is always going to have a gap because of the shape of the bottom of the fender.

I have full armor protection from T44. Soon as they pick up my truck from the mechanic, timing chain, I’ll shoot you some pictures from both sides, driver and passenger.

Yeah I removed all plugs and clips, the rocker panel bolts are what's keeping it from coming in more. Like it was built with the slots in the wrong place.
