avatar_mtull @mtull No problem posting hole locations.  Go for it!

Pictures of the rocker molding would be useful also.

Sorry I don't have any rocker mouldings or clips of my own to take pics of.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on the rocker panel trim which is on back order at Classic Industries.
My concern is the aftermarket clips may not position the mouldings in the proper position when using the factory hole locations.  With that said, hopefully these measurements answer more questions than they create.  This car's fender tag shows M25 and the fender, rocker and quarter panel are original to the car thus, I'm assuming (hoping) the holes are all factory.  I believe the EK2 to be original however, the car was given a very hasty scuff and paint sometime in the 1970's. Luckily a quick wet sand yesterday revealed what I think is the outline of the original molding.

In the first pic I'm trying to convey the following info:
- all holes are 5/16
- the front of the original moulding appears to start 1 3/16 from the wheel opening (without the trim)
- the first hole is 2" on center from the front of the moulding
- the first and second holes are spaced 5 7/8 apart on center
- the horizontal center of the holes are 1 5/8 above the bottom of the fender
- NOTE: if you take a 5' straight edge and lay it along the trim holes on the rocker (under the door) and project forward to the
        fender, the very first trim hole closest to the front wheel opening is higher.  Perhaps due to the different style clip?

In the second pic I'm trying to convey the following info:
- first hole is 5/16
- second hole (last one next to the wheel opening) is from a screw
- the last hole in the rocker is 9 1/2 inches (center to center) to the hole in the quarter
- the bottom of the moulding appears to have been 1 1/4 from the bottom of the rocker.  Hard area to get a measurement on
  however if you use a straight edge all the holes are close to aligning horizontally.

If there's a better way to convey the measurements or if more details are needed, please let me know.

I think these are the correct clips, measurements shown for reference.
