Trouble reinstalling rocker covers
 

Just put new rocker covers on. Got the top 5 screws in on both sides and both rubber strips back on

Cant remember how the bottom 3 bolts on each side go. Specifically, the plastic washers.

There are 6 thin plastic washers and 3 wider plastic washers.

Can someone please explain how and where these go? Unfortunately, it took me a year to get this job done since removing old rocker covers and I didnt take photos or make notes...just threw all the parts in a box like an idiot :D

Bently manual is of zero help with this

Thanks alot

Those spacers go between the body fast nut screws and the rockers. Without them the rockers will be skewed in too deep and not properly follow the body lines.

Post a pic and we can tell you the order of the fixture components.

Do not over torque the fast nut is really thin and will strip easily.

Here you go Brother:

thanks. I figured the plastic washers go in that area, under the metal trim

what has me confused is that there are only 3 wide washers but there are 6 thin washers

Do all three wide washers go on the driver side in addition to 3 thin washers and then on the passenger side, just the other 3 thin washers?

I seem to recall all three fat washers coming from just one side. I made a metal note of this but well....my mental notes are not good

This thread is related...but doesnt correspond to my original parts even though I too have an 83

All my screws for the bottom are the same length...also the thread is indicating 3 small washers/spacers and 6 larger...i have the opposite. I have 6 small and 3 large

How thin are the thin ones? will two equal one thick one?

PO body shop may have put the wrong ones?

Oh Okay, driver side uses the thicker ones because it does not have oil lines plus a thin washer.

Passenger side, thin washer on top of the oil line bracket. Just checked my car.

So driver side uses 2 per screw...one thin and one fat? That does make sense as the gap is larger due to no oil lines

Thanks alot

Yes, screw, thin washer, rocker, thick spacer to fast nut.

Passenger side, screw, thin washer, rocker, oil line bracket to fast nut.
