weatherstripping

I'm getting ready for paint... finishing up little things... for bear claw latches... I haven't installed the pin in the door jams for the latches... wondering about weatherstripping... I don't think I want to install first, but how do I know exactly where to drill for the pin ??? install the strip with tape or something /??

That pin is adjustable and needs to be welded to the door post..so think of that before paint..

I was concerned that if the weatherstrip held the door out some it would effect the latching

I do all my alignments prior to installing the weatherstrip. If the striker pin is aligned correctly then the door/cab surfaces will align and will not change after the weatherstripping is installed.
