Chris,
I think that most of the fasteners used to attach the fenders are bolts
and clips. The clips are installed on the top lip of the fenders. I
thought the bolts had a square thread, but the factory parts manual
calls them spire bolts, so may-be not. Normal" nut and bolts are found
along the bottom of the dog legs. See Moss p/n 321-868 and 321-818.
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
