Run a tap through the captive nuts while its still apart and chase the
threads on your hardware if in any doubt.
Use painters tape and clean bedsheets on panels to pad them as you get them
on to prevent scratches, or worse yet - dropping a wrench, screwdriver or
bolt onto them :(

Subject: [TR] what is the most stressful thing to do on a Triumph?
I just had a car painted and am putting the fenders and panels back on. I
think this is probably the most stressful thing I have done, for various
reasons:
- Worried about scratching the new paint
- Worried that the panels won't fit
- Worried that the captured nuts will fail this one time
Driving a restored car for the first time comes close, but I think this
takes the prize. What thinks the list ?
