The drawing above shows the
three main parts which together form the sill of a DS/ID. These parts
are: DX 743-1, which forms the inner and upper part of the sill, D 743-87 the outer
part of the (main) sill and DM 811-2 the outer part the doors close
against. Below are some photos of original replacement parts DX 743-1 and DM 811-2 (the exact part numbers changed over time), part number D 743-87 was not available at this booth at the ICCCR in Interlaken. |

Fig. 1 The left and
right inner sills parts DX 743-1 and part DM 811-2 which is laying the
wrong way around (what you see in the front of the picture is the rear
end of the part and vice versa). Note the welded-on
L-shaped reinforcement panel on DX 743-1. The larger round hole
surrounded by two smaller holes (at the end of the L-shaped
reinforcement panel) is were the plastic "knob" that holds the rear seat
cushion in place is pushed in. |

just in front of the middle reinforcement. The oval shaped hole is where
the heater tube ends in the rear footwell. The small round hole takes
the jacking point pin, note the triangular reinforcement plate around
the hole. |

Fig. 5 Front reinforcement, a bit more damaged (bended). The oval shaped whole is where the heater tube (to rear footwell) enters the sill (in a complete car this is close to the height lever) |
Fig. 6 Front reinforcement in more
detail, the front consists of multiple panels welded together (the thin
dark lines mark the ends of the separate panels) |

Fig. 7 The mid section of parts DX 743-1 and DM 811-2 in detail. The threaded hole in DX 743-1 above the upside down "2" is the outer mounting point for the safety belt. The mirrored D-shaped hole in DM 811-2 is where the spring loaded latch of the rear door passes the outer (upper) part of the sill. |
