Where to rivet the DS footbox front panel

[Traveller]

The manual says to "mark, drill, and rivet in place" the front panel for the drivers side footbox. The picture shows where they placed 7 rivets on the panel (image below circled in red). I have read in various build threads that their rivets on this panel caused interference with the mounting brackets for the pedals. Are the circled locations what I should shoot for?

Thanks,
Jason

The only way to know for sure it so mount he bracket and then choose your rivet spots.

The clecos show you where I riveted mine. No interference.

Thank you, John. That is very helpful.

No worries mate. I should add that I also put a wavy line of silicone across the face of the steel backing plate, just to prevent any rattling.
