So I finally installed a set of my jack plates on a 2016 GT350R. The right side went actually quite easy. I used a 5/16 cobalt drill bit in my right angle Makita drill. The first hole I was able to drill thru the entire pinch weld. The second hole required me to sharpen the bit 3 times before I made it thru. The right side was a different story. I used that same cobalt drill but was only able to start the holes (make an indentation) with that bit, regardless of how sharp the bit was. I then switched to a 3/16 regular bit and was able to make a pilot hole. I then went up in bit size to 1/4, drilled out both holes, then switched to the 5/16 cobalt drill to finish it up. Left side took 15 minutes to install, right side about 1/2 hour. They sure fit nice though.

Mike's Jack point plates are really awesome. Low profile, strong and lightweight. Much better than adding 20lbs with jacking rails that do nothing different than these. Highly recommended.

I currently have a set in red available.

Mike,
I'll take the red. PayPal sent.

Thanks,

Fred

I installed Mike's plates. +1 vote here for quality fit.

For others looking to do the install, and who are as awful at body panels as I am, I found this video to be helpful in showing how to remove the rocker panel:

Also, if you are like me and manage to destroy a couple of push pins along the way, I found this this kit of replacement pins to be close enough (they are advertised as fitting 05-14 model years). The white "side" pins seem to be an exact match while the black "bottom" pins get the job done but remain a little loose for the final 1/8" inch. This would have bothered me more except a) I drove 1,500 miles on the car without having noticed that the factory left 5 of my driver side bottom pins only partially pressed and therefore wobbly, and b) I couldn't find any rocker panel push pins designed for an S550. So not perfect, but I felt better than nothing.

If anyone has links to the correct "bottom" push pins, please share. I'm sure others will appreciate it.

I go to the ford parts department and they order what ever I needed for those plastic push pins. If you get a good parts guy he will find them.

Anymore sets available?

Yes, just need to know which color your looking for, red or black. I sent you PM.
