Subject: [TR] Front Fender bolt heads
Alright, here's a question for the archivists...
Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under=20
the bonnet (hood in USA)
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the=20
scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6=20
each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if=20
they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or=20
unpainted & cadmium plated?
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running=20
again & I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need=20
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If=20
I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the=20
hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them=20
when I put the socket onto them?
All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.

Subject: Re: [TR] Front Fender bolt heads
=C2=A0I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was =
assembled before painting).? When I assembled my car I used stainless steel=
fasteners and and left them unpainted.? The appearance is striking with th=

I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snugged =

Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the sc=
uttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 each s=

were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpaint=

I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running again =

ed to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sides o=

Not just the bolts, but the unpainted portion of the fender or washer that
was under the bolt before you turned it.=C2=A0 Two thoughts: Did the factor=
y
never needed to tighten them? and You will probably have to re-spray the
bolts of you do wind up moving them.
You might have success if you protect the flats with blue painters tape to
test for tightness, but once it moves I don't see any solution that doesn't
involve more paint.

Subject: Re: [TR] Front Fender bolt heads
Good question.=C2=A0 Many restored TRs have unpainted fasteners and are not=
usually faulted during judging at shows.=C2=A0 Everything was painted from=
the factory, because the bodies were painted fully assembled (minus the fr=
ont apron).=C2=A0 They were even primed, red oxide, assembled.=C2=A0 When a=
car that was original is disassembled, there is primer behind the apron, b=
ut no paint where areas can't be reached once the apron had been installed.=
=C2=A0 So, there was no paint or primer under the washers or door hinges or=
between the fenders and tub.=C2=A0 Dumb dumb was used as sealer, gasket ma=
terial between the fenders (wings) and the tub.=C2=A0=20
I painted everything disassembled and carefully painted the fasteners separ=
ately too,=C2=A0 when I restored my TR3.=C2=A0 The car had never been apart=
before.=C2=A0 I paid close attention and photo documented every detail dur=
ing disassembly.=C2=A0 I was able to assemble the body without chipping the=
paint on the fasteners too much, then did a little touch up later.=C2=A0 I=
nstalling the fender beading after the paint was applied at the factory see=
ms challenging, but perhaps certain fasteners were left loose.=C2=A0 Like t=
he three bolts below the tail lights and screws along the truck lid and the=
two under the scuttle/cowl panel for the front fenders.=C2=A0=20
Good luck with your TR2.

<br>
Alright, here's a question for the archivists...<br>
<br>
Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under <br>
the bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
<br>
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the <b=
r>
scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 <br>
each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if <br>
they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or <b=
r>
unpainted & cadmium plated?<br>
<br>
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running <br>
again & I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need =
<br>
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If <br=
>
I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the <br>
hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them <br>
when I put the socket onto them?<br>
<br>
All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was =
assembled before painting).? When I assembled my car I used stainless steel=
fasteners and and left them unpainted.? The appearance is striking with th=
e shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I'll be=
t it will be points off in a concours.<br>
I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snugged =
up during initial assembly.? I never had any issues.<br>
Enjoy the activity.<br>

Alright,here's a question for the archivists... Amabout to get my 'Longdoor=
' TR2 painted, and need adviceabout under the bonnet (hood in USA) Wherethe=
front guards/fenders are bolted onto the innerguards from the scuttle/fire=
wall forward to the front apron, the headsof the bolts(6 each side) ?and wa=
sher underneath arevisible. Anyone know for sure if they were just painted =
in the bodycolour alongwith everything else, or unpainted & cadmium pla=
ted? Iassume they were painted, and i<br>
magine that once the car isrunning again & I have done a few mile=
s and everything has settled ?I will need to go round all those bolts andch=
eck if they need tightening again. If I do need to tighten them thenI willp=
robably damage the paint on the hex sides of the bolts unless there issomet=
rick way to protect them when I put the socket onto them? Allthoughts / sug=
gestions gratefully accepted. Alan TS3612 AW & LJ Dunscombe<br>

Yes, body color. And I believe you can get sockets with coated inside=

I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was assemb=
led before painting). When I assembled my car I used stainless steel =
fasteners and and left them unpainted. The appearance is striking wit=
h the shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I'l=
l bet it will be points off in a concours.<br>
<br>
I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snugged =
up during initial assembly. I never had any issues.<br>
<br>
Enjoy the activity.<br>

Alright, here's a question for the archivists...<br>
Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under the =
bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the sc=
uttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 each s=
ide) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if they =
were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpaint=
ed & cadmium plated?<br>
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running again =
& I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need =
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I d=
o need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sid=
es of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put t=
he socket onto them?<br>
All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

Not just the bolts, but the unpainted portion of the fender or washer that<=

You might have success if you protect the flats with blue painters tape to<=

test for tightness, but once it moves I don't see any solution that doesn't=
<br>
involve more paint.<br>

<br>
Good question. Many restored TRs have unpainted fasteners and are not=
usually faulted during judging at shows. Everything was painted from=
the factory, because the bodies were painted fully assembled (minus the fr=
ont apron). They were even primed, red oxide, assembled. When a=
car that was original is disassembled, there is primer behind the apron, b=
ut no paint where areas can't be reached once the apron had been installed.=
So, there was no paint or primer under the washers or door hinges or=
between the fenders and tub. Dumb dumb was used as sealer, gasket ma=
terial between the fenders (wings) and the tub. <br>
I painted everything disassembled and carefully painted the fasteners separ=
ately too, when I restored my TR3. The car had never been apart=
before. I paid close attention and photo documented every detail dur=
ing disassembly. I was able to assemble the body without chipping the=
paint on the fasteners too much, then did a little touch up later. I=
nstalling the fender beading after the paint was applied at the factory see=
ms challenging, but perhaps certain fasteners were left loose. Like t=
he three bolts below the tail lights and screws along the truck lid and the=
two under the scuttle/cowl panel for the front fenders. <br>
Good luck with your TR2.<br>
