Who's patch panels are good?
I'm getting ready to replace the L&R rockers and a portion of the drivers side floor. Who sells quality patch panels that fit properly?

Re: Who's patch panels are good?
Nobody really. As far as I know, they all have to be tweaked somewhat. All seem about to be the same… it would be hard to pick a winner except 'NOS' stuff or good original. Everything else... "Made in China".
Sorry to seem like a bummer but sometimes 'like in elections' you don't get what you hoped for. |

^^Bingo. Find the lowest price. The parts are all coming off the same dies.

There aren't a bunch of places making the parts. They all come from the same place. pick a distributor nearby not from your state.

Yup, look at all of them and buy the cheapest ones, got mine from EBay from "Fixmyrust". Just take lots of measurements and remember that mig welding CLEAN BARE METAL parts fixes lots of problems, as does body filler and paint.

Re: Who's patch panels are good?
Other than the part that gets sanded off near weld areas, do you guys leave as much of the black coating on the panels as you can, or do you strip it all off?
