Can you tell me if there is 4 alignment pins per side in the 57 fender skirts & if there is a drawing/ temp plate available?
Thank you

I bought a pair of skirts for my 4 door Custom 300 back in 2014 and there were no pins. There are c like clips that fasten to the opening by tightening the screws that are threaded into the clip, and those clips slip into slots that are fabricated into the edge of the skirts. They fit nice and are held on very solid. I bought them on E bay. Hope that helps some.
Without going out to the garage in these freezing temperatures and taking a skirt off, I believe there were three clips per skirt. One on top and one on each bottom end.
The skirts that came on the 300 I parted had four pins per side. Two were in the top, one low on the front and the rear was low as well. The skirts had slots in the edge with the seal having slots in it as well. If they go on like the T-Birds of latter years (61 - 65) with the skirt up in place the front pin was at the top of the slot, the upper two were towards the rear of the slot and the rear pin was at the bottom of the slot. The easiest way to put them on the car was to put the front pin in and kinda roll the skirt into place by raising the rear up as the front slide down ever so slighly.
Don't know if that makes sence or not, best way I know to explain.
Thank you fellows I do believe I can carry on with this information in mind. Much appreciated.
Cheers Oldgasser.
