I would use 6mm Nutserts and screws. Much more secure for metal panels such as those.
The final product will not be of the metal type pictured (too heavy). Love the nutsert idea.
If you make some for the 73/74 also think about the fact that there is a difference between the right rear side panel depending on year , oem does not exist anymore for years so these would have a bunch of potential buyers.
If I had a set of 73/74 side panels drawn up in CAD then there is the potentional for SWB or MWB set because the rest (front doors and back door) will work in either.
Technically my side panels are for the JDM 70 LX model though. I see some SWB 70 models without the added plastic panels. Not sure what to call them.
I have a nice set here at the shop for HZJ73’s that I use as templates , you can use them as long as I can get em back.
I made mine out of aluminum and used 1/4-20 nutserts and allen cap screws for all connections. Did it all at home with a little jig saw and drill. Your CNC'ed product will definitely be nicer, but it got the job done.
I definitely feel your pain about getting all the mounting holes to line up...
What seat covers are these?
Did you make this console?While not exactly 70 Series Tech, I did finally get around to powering up the HAM and CB radios that have been resting comfortably in the overhead console.View attachment 2008279
