My previous post a few months ago on this failed to trigger a response - as w=
e're now about to hang the finished front fenders, I'm hoping someone has a s=
uggestion ...
=20
The car in question is a 1954 TR2 long-door and the question is how the rear=
 bolt fastening the fender to the scuttle is inserted/tightened?  There are t=
wo mounting points along the scuttle.  Both use =C2=BC inch UNF bolts that s=
crew into captive nuts in the fender.  The front one is obvious as there is a=
 hole in the scuttle accessible from the footwell.  No access for the rear b=
olt.  While it could be loosely screwed into the captive nut and slid into t=
he mounting point on the scuttle which is open on the bottom, how is it tigh=
tened?
=20
Surely someone has experienced this?
=20
As always, any been-there-done-that thoughts would be muchly appreciated.

Cheers,
