Title: SCUFF PLATES ??? Post by: Blown_FC on December 06, 2005, 04:58:46 AM Can anyone tell me if FB-EK Scuff Plates fit FE-FC bodies ?
I'm talking the metal plates that run along the bottom of the body where the doors close and hold down the carpet and body rubber. Cheers Mark Title: Re: SCUFF PLATES ??? Post by: COL58FE on December 06, 2005, 12:30:59 PM G'day Mark,

i think you better check on that one as they all have the same sill's and floor pan's,so i can't see them being different.except on the fe they are flat on the top surface other than that they are the same. cheer's col. ;) Title: Re: SCUFF PLATES ??? Post by: 4hammers on December 07, 2005, 09:45:34 AM Hi Guys.
Torque is right. They are all slightly different, but they all fit. The FE is flat, like you said Col. FC is slightly different from FB & EK have inserts in them. NOT on the Commercials or Standards though. Rob J Title: Re: SCUFF PLATES ??? Post by: Blown_FC on December 07, 2005, 11:55:47 PM Thanks guys....the reason I asked, is I've foound a set of four for about $40 in good condition. Rares sell them at over $100 each brand new, and I can't find any good FC plates at that price, so I may end up buying the EK plates instead.
Cheers Mark Title: Re: SCUFF PLATES ??? Post by: TorqueFC on December 08, 2005, 12:18:34 AM Mark. i would strongly advise you not to buy them if you want to fit them to an fe fc. below is a picture (or two) of fc scuff plates, and fb ek ones , as you can see they are quite different. 1. the holes dont line up 2.i believe that even if you drilled more holes, they still wouldnt sit right.
