Installation notes
The metal plate is fixed against the body side reinforcement at the door opening. The narrow, flat end points towards the floor, the wider curved end follows the shape of the door opening. For fitting, 1/4 x 3/4 UNC round head slotted screws with lock washers are required (sold separately). The canvas covering with padding is fixed to this metal plate, usually with contact adhesive.
Compatibility
This plate is specific for the right side. For the left side, a separate part is required. Please note: this is the metal support plate only. For a complete crashpad, the canvas covering with padding and fitting hardware are also required.
Historical context
Crashpads (also known as 'hip pads') were introduced during WWII to protect occupants from contact with the metal body wall. Original pads were filled with horsehair or rubberized hair material.
