It does come with the bracket. The one thing if its not a metal shell its plastic with what looks like a chrome paint. Mine has a couple of small imperfections that are had to find. But other wise its looks great. And for the price I found it hard to go past.  |

Cam,
Short answer - yes. The weatherseal retainer continues all the way to the scuff plate.
The retainer goes just until the 45-degree section of the scuff plate, which is where the dogleg/inner wheel arch steps down to be level with the sill. That's odd. Your scuff plate is cut square at the rear. Maybe this is another Special/Standard difference.

Hi Cam, I had a look at mine. Drivers side goes up to 7-8mm prior to the scuff plate, while the passenger side is approximately level (1mm). This area is unmolested on mine but maybe more so due to when the sills were replaced many moons ago and the scuff plates aren't entirely centred when the holes were redrilled.  I like the grill badge. I was unaware that there was repro's. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rod |

Ok inner guard welded in just got to clean it up    also picked up some repo scratch plates, and like the grill badge look really nice.  I do have a question on the original or repo scratch plates ... do they wear away at the door paint over time?  . and has any one put something behind them to stop the movement ? |

Are they the plates from rotary products? Good value at $149 for a set of 4. Can't wait to see your car done.

Yes they are good. Put a pair on my ute recently and didn’t put anything behind but was thinking some mastic would be the go.

The originals don’t wear away the paint from my experience. I think it depends on how good the fit is from the repro. If it contacts the paint smoothly it won’t be a problem

Mine weren’t a perfect fit I’ll say that. Sit proud slightly at the bottoms if I recall.
