Ute Tailgate Photos

[Webby]

Hi all.
Can anyone post up a few photos of the area around the latch either side inside the tailgate please.
Im about to pick mine apart and reskin but where the latch comes out has been flogged around a bit and just want an idea of how its meant to look, google didnt help me.

Thanks ..im after a close up of where the pins come out the side..my tailgate has 4 bolt holes but the plate with the rod,pin,spring only has 2 and doesnt fit neat so im assuming its been tampered with

Four bolt holes is from FE FC Shane. Two hole frame is FB EK. Have a dig through my ute thread and you will see. I had a n FE FC tailgate. I cut off two of the holes and body striker and filled the holes in the tailgate skin. Should look like this.
Cheers

Hey Webby;
The FE FC Tailgates fit exactly the same as the FB EK ones the only difference is as Clay said; with it being so hard to get good tailgates now days I would think it doesn't really matter, I used an FE FC tailgate on Frankenstein, one of the reasons for the name
