I am not sure if the following method is correct, but it is how I installed
the bead on my TR3A.
1. Loosely install all wing (fender) fasteners.
2. Install wing beading, concetrate tabs where needed most to pull bead to
wing.
3. Tighten fasteners only up to where you feel some resistance.
4. Using vice grips(where space permits) pull tabs until bead fits snugly
against the
wing, and without letting go, bend the tab up.
5. Adjust the wings and beading where necessary and snug up all of the
fasteners.
6. This sounds much easier than it really is, it took me three nights and
a lot of
colorful adjectives to complete the job. The first night I walked
away from the job
in frustration, only to find on the second night that the "bead
fairies" didn't finish
any of the work that I left for them.
Good Luck,
Gary Bouffard
