Default 1973 foam pieces

Hi, wondering about the location of these? I thought they went in behind the lower front fender down by the frame, but I could not get them to fit, they pushed out the fenders

between the birdcage and the frame . specifically just in front of the no.2 mounts , so your jamming it between two pieces of steel ( frame and sill panel )

Ok, will I be able to get them in without pulling up the body?

And thank you!

Save and reuse the pads. They stop air/moisture from entering into the bird cage channel(s).
I'll post a picture from my manual shortly.
