Thanks, Dave. The side sill brackets are indeed revised, but they still suffer from the fact that the side sill is simply not recessed enough. Check the prototype photos - the brackets on the model are in such low relief that it's hard to see exactly WHAT they are - note that they're readily identifiable in the prototype photos.
We are going to have to agree to disagree. I still stand by my comments.
