Whale tail installation

[Europa Auto]

I purchased a used whale tail for my 81' 911 SC and need installation instructions for it.

The lid needs to be drilled but I'm not sure how to ALIGN the tail and drill the lid.

Does anyone have installation procedures with pictures?

Thanks!

Measure twice, check twice, drill once

You will also want to have a second person there to help you. He or she will be able to second your alignment and assist you when you install it.

It is crucial to hav a second or even a third person help you.

On a side note, I'm going to be removing my tail hopefully this afternoon to replace the gasket between the tail and lid. If I get a second person to help me I'll be able to get it done and I'll post some pics. I'm giving it about a 30% chance though.
