I am taking my time attaching my fenders. In fact, the the only wing I've
installed thus far on the rear of my TR3 will need to come off again. The 3
bolts from the rear valence (?) which hold the fender to the body (below the
taillights) will have to be re-created as the flanges and original bolts are
gone. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this?
I've mentioned also my dislike for the cage-nuts which hold the fender/wing on
the body. Many folks agreed with me. "FT" pointed out how long they have
lasted. I hope to use stainless nuts and bolts WITHOUT using any kind of
cages. In other words, I will try to grab both the bolt-head and nut in order
to tighten them. Yes, a cage securing a 4-sided nut was what the factory
originally used. But, why is replacing the rusty cages with new ones
considered the norm when one can proably access both nut-end and bolt-end of
all of the fender attachments? Am I missing something here?
Thanks, Paul Dorsey
60 TR3
