Default BA to AU sill covers

Does anyone now if BA sill covers will fit onto an AU Fairlane?
What do the Tickford scuff plates look like?
Are they still available?
Does anyone have a pair for sale?

Default Re: BA to AU sill covers

The overall length is slightly longer and the profile at the front is different where the cover meets the guard and mudflap. I discovered this when I went to put skirts on the missus' wagon and got them off of a BA wagon. I had to do a dodgy trim job to get them to fit. Fairlane and wagon are the same wheelbase and should be interchangeable. Have a close look at a BA and you'll see that the guard is a different length between wheel and door plus the mudflaps are moulded to fit around the skirt where on AUI-II they aren't. If you want to do it properly then you'll have to find AUIII skirts,... and mudflaps too I suspect.

Thank's for the reply Bushbasher, however I was referring to the plastic covers that sit on top of the door sill. Maybe I didn't explain well enough.

Yes BA/BF ones are a straight fit to the AU's. I wouldn't mind some Tickford ones, might see if we can do another group buy on them soon.

I'd be up for a set too.
