Hi All,
I am installing Kilmartin lower patch panels on both front fenders of my BJ8.
After completing the tack welds of the panels, I temporarily fitted the fenders
to check fit.
The gap between the inner surface of the front fender and the edge of the front
wheel tub seems wider than I remember. I have no rubber buffer in place right
now. Would anyone have an idea or be able to take a rough measure of the
distance just using a 6" scale?
I also note that the rear edge of the front fender is sticking out beyond the
rocker and beyond the door by about 1/8th inch. It appears that the lower
horizontal section of the patch panel needs to be about 1/8 inch shorter near
the rocker, and maybe 3/16 or a tad more shorter up front. The original right
front fender (before I cut the bottom off) was still intact enough that I can
measure the horizontal section. And the Kilmartin's horizontal section is
longer by about the numbers I mentioned.
I hope I was able to explain this clearly enough. Has anyone else had this
issue?
Thanks,
Dave
