If someone has a bare shell or project where the roof lining isn’t fitted, please could you take and post a photo of where the latch screws to the shell for the opening rear side windows.

I have read on here that I can fit these to a shell that doesn’t have opening windows, but I am keen to see for myself whether there is an additional bracket for the catch to screw to at the rear of these windows,

The two front hinge brackets seem simple enough,

Thank you

The area that the rear hinge screws into is part of the welded in C post strengthener and seat belt mount. It's simply 3 holes drilled.

The 3 holes need to be in different position if you fit MPI windows (the latch was in a slightly different position on the frame).
