The join is about 2/3rds down from the roof. The bottom 6 inches are the new rear quarter fitted. As you can see I haven't yet corrected the shape to match the rest of the car.

Hope this shows the difference

I fitted a later rear quarter and the profile is different to the aperture on my June '72 car which has the early wide rubber and chrome cover. I'll try and get a photo later.

Must be the extra roof light Pete

They haven't got any. Mines been on backorder for nearly 2 months

That cup is the same as the one in my 72 GXL, No slots in it.

Has anyone got a spare PFL clip for sale? Preferably down South but willing to travel reasonable distance. It can be bare - I don't need all the suspension parts on it. Thanks

How about this http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574629005&toolid=10001&campid=5335900709&customid=&mpre=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ford-cortina-mk3-shell-spares-or-repairs-panels-banger-racing-/182347084027?hash=item2a74bbb0fb:g:QqUAAOSwKOJYIaAC

Exactly how I did mine

Just replied Brian through messenger. Yes it was a good fit and was the correct length from the front chassis joint to the rear joint just before the spring hanger where it splits in 2.

Brian, this is the one I used. It was a good fit. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574629005&toolid=10001&campid=5335900709&customid=&mpre=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORTINA-MK3-4-5-1970-1982-CENTRE-CHASSIS-SECTION-R-H-DRIVERS-SIDE-/351501838637?hash=item51d724692d:g:zQgAAOSwv0tVYGXf

Looking for a Mk3 o/s rear quarter panel. Don't mind if it's cut off a car and needs some work. Just found out mine is constructed with about 1/2" of filler and rust!

Under Ebay rules if you collect something you cannot get your money back as it is deemed that you inspected it before taking it away. I got caught out once where I won a Radio that was collection only. I organised a courier collection and when it arrived it wasn't the one in the photo and it didn't work. I tried to get my money back but Ebay ruled in favour of the seller because they said I had inspected it before taking it away!

Bad news - my spare has the same problem as yours. Handle sticks and is a bit corroded. Even the one for my car is a bit flaky.

I'll be down the garage tomorrow and as promised will send you one if it's a good one.
