Price is $100.00 plus shipping. I will be putting them on ebay at some point for $110.00 and if you are out of the US then I would wait until then since they have good deals on international shipping. At this point I can only say they fit LHD models as I’m not sure if they will play nicely with RHD cars.

I’ve done the best I could to make panels that will fit the most amount of cars properly but the reality is with these older cars there is no way I’m going to hit them all perfectly. I designed them around a 1974. I sent a set to someone with a 1969 and they had to tweak them a bit to work with their floor dip switch and some electrical components. It’s pretty easy to cut the panels with aviation snips or a jig saw but hopefully for most people that won’t be necessary. The final product is fitted to my 1973 model I just purchased. There are 2 areas of concern to look out for. The hood release bracket and the exit point on the wiring harness chase. I tried to keep the speaker as high as I can and I have notched the speaker pod to clear the bracket. You may need to work it a bit more if your car differs from the 3 test cars. The second area is where the harness exits the chase. you may need to work that area so the panel sits flat.
The consensus on social media was to not supply holes since there doesn’t seem to be a standard pattern. I do supply self drilling screws for mounting.
Installation: Remove whatever panel/carpet you currently have. Test fit the panels and make any necessary modifications to the areas listed above. I recommend pre drilling the panel with a 3/16 drill first in your chosen locations. I also recommend mounting the speakers into the panels and then removing them. This will make installing them easier at the end. The panels are easier to locate without the weight of the speaker. Although I supply self drilling screws I highly recommend drilling a 1/8″ pilot hole first.
They hold a 5 1/4” speaker and they have 2” depth at the shallowest point. The speakers are tilted slightly outward.
There is a wire chase on the left hand side that was needed for the 1974 but not needed for my 1973. The 1969 had the harness but the door switch wires had it positioned in a different place. Go figure.
There is decent foot room between the panel and the clutch pedal. I have found the wire chase makes a pretty decent dead pedal.
Passengers side fits great.
