I found a couple templates for their location. It seems like in pictures most people line it up in the middle with the wing-window support bar. The factory location is a few inches forward of that.

I didn't get the bracket that goes inside the door (yet). If I do get it, I think that will dictate where they go.

My questions:

1) I'm not a huge fan of the plastic inserts. What do you guys think about using (maybe stainless) threaded rivets instead?

2) Considering the above, is the bracket necessary?

No marks or dimples on the inside of the door where the inner plate mounts? I’ve only ever seen them on
