Default HELP!!! Sill Plates 68-77

I can't find a picture anywhere! Which side faces the interior? The angled side or the side with the 90 degree angle. My old ones are long gone and the new ones will screw in either way.

Hi R,
If you look closely at the 'tab' at the end of the kick-panels, and the underside of the sill plate, you'll see how they're shaped to fit together when properly installed.
Regards,
Alan

But please don't start using that word….really only know what one car taught me.
Sort of an 'idiot sevant', with the emphasis on the IDIOT part!!!!

Alan
