I have a '50 RT SE at the paint shop and the genius manager thought I wanted to delete the vinyl top so had their people close up the holes. I need to find out the correct size hole or drill size to open these up as well as the holes for the se badges.
is anyone able to measere theirs? Also I have tons or trim hardware but do not know the correct hardware for this trim. Hopefully I have some,

Thanks very much
John

@70RTSE383 I just finished my RTSE and can probably help you through your dilemma. PM me and we can exchange email addresses. Email is much easier to pass information through.

R/T's 4 R/P

Before i took my SE to the body shop I took an impression/ casting of the hole locations and hole sizes. If you don't get what you need let me know.

If someone would be able to do some sort of a template for the holes location, would be really interesting. I'm looking for that too, considering i changed all the metal on my car and reproduction panels don't come predrilled  :dunno:

Thanks for the input. I looked in the reference section and found hole locations. I don't think the location will be a problem after they sand off the covering. I need the hole diameter.

Just measured the hole of a 70 barracuda built date of September 15th 1969.
I measured 4 holes and all four were 3/16ths.
