My first classic (part-refurb) '78 280z, LHD, auto, Ex-California

Does it not mention it in the instructions? Or did they not come with any?

I dont have any instructions
Haven't been able to find any online yet

Ah ok. Well seeing as that guy in the video has them, I'd agree with you and go with the side

Front makes most sense to me, as it's the lowest point right?
Only thing against that is that the front would be where water is more likely to get forced in when the car is moving.

Folks
For those trying to do this after me - who also dont have the install template etc I have attached a bad pic from the youtube video Robotsan shared

And of course I had to make my own, rather than use a paper version (sorry)

When it says cut, what does it mean? I was hoping these only needed holes drilling!

You actually cut the piece of paper out of the instructions and use it as a template to get the distance right
So you are cutting the paper - not the car

These feckin things are fiddly as hell
Definitely need a warm garage or warmer day to finish it off

But one is stuck on for now - def going to have to drill the holes to screw it in tho
