Dave,

I dont know if this will work for you but I replaced the 3 lower rear caged 
nuts that are hidden by removing that panel, removing the nuts and cutting 
slots so I could install the speed nuts that are used on a TR4. I re-welded 
the panel and the rear fender is now secured similar to a TR4. I have had to 
remove the fenders a few times and those 3 bolts just come out as easy as 
pie.

Bob
