Ronald,
I assume new fenders don't have the holes pre-drilled? 
If you don't have a new screw kit, get one from TRF or others. There
should be 8 screws and 8 cup washers.
The 1st hole on the rear buffer is 9-1/4" from the lip of the cowl. The
hole closest to the front is 10-1/2" from the lip of the front of the
fender. The holes are approx. 1/2" apart, but should match your wedges.
Fit the wedges so that the narrow edge is almost 1/4" from the top of
the fender.
These are measurements from one fender on one of my cars but I'm sure
they vary from car to car and fender to fender, so fairly close to these
measurements is OK.

Hope this helps,

Has anyone done this? I only got one response so far and it didn't
include any information for doing this with new fenders.
