If I recall correctly - the mounting holes do not line up - I've got some at the shop I can compare this evening.

You can however use the D2 model, make your own holes, then use the trim piece that covers the screws and no one would know.
I use the trim piece for the screws on my D1 sills to keep them from getting crusty

Thanks - well let me know. The disco I are extremely hard to find. I see some disco II complete but missing one cover. I may just need to take the chance and re-drill the holes. The ones I found is missing a front door cover.
