Predator's R32 Spacer Template Didn't Work For Me

[TurboDoseBro]

Hello fellow Skyliners.

I have followed predator's spacer template for R32s but had to make my own because i couldn't print for my life. Used 12mm MDF wood (his recommendation) and cut out + drilled the holes all to correct sizes and locations. Finally today I screwed everything on after all the hard work and tried putting the door skin on and it wouldn't go back on because the template was interfering with the door skin. I think there are 2 different types of R32 doors that require different templates.

Here is predator's thread. Very nicely written. On post #12 raz0r$harP.UK had the same problem as well. Post #2 is a picture of the installed template.

Here is a picture of my installed template, as you can see, the hole positions are already different. So anybody with the same door type or not have any suggestions on the template or installation? Worked hard on these templates for nothing

you used the wrong thickness. 9mm works fine. if you trace the original panel you took out it fits fine. bear in mind there are left and right sides and they are different.

Nothing wrong with having used 12mm. Good work.

Well actually upon further investigation, the OEM plastic template looks identical to predator's. However, i measured the inside gap where the speaker/template is hitting the door skin and it seems to be about ~9mm space inside. That's why the 12mm didn't work. My speakers were also +9mm high ontop of the 12mm MDF.
