Re: Fiberglass Fenders

["Tim Duhamel" <timduhamel@hotmail.com>]

I have a full sebring fender kit that also had no such fasteners.  I was 
able to use either bonding or machine screws with nuts behind at each of 
mounting points.

For the front fenders I had to bond at the beading by the windshield and to 
a scavanged metal inner wing.  For the bottom edge, headlamps and valence I 
have machine screws and nuts. The top edge is simply through bolts into the 
rails.

The rear fenders are nearly all bonded.

Cheers,
Tim Duhamel
