I have used the thread-o-lets or riv-nuts on my truck. They work great. If you can put a bolt in them from the back side then set the door panel in place and tap it where it hits the end of the bolt you will know exactly where to drill the panel.

Good luck on your test drive today.
that's some good advice, the truck didn't even have armrests when I bought it, so I didn't know it would cover the hole.

I'll be heading over to the garage in a hour, first picking up a mate who will help me out.

we'll be filling the cooling system with water and the cleaning stuff to get rid of the muck and grub. then proper coolant. I'll be sure to film the first yards it drives Mostly I am curious about the brakes.
