Not just the bolts, but the unpainted portion of the fender or washer that
was under the bolt before you turned it. Two thoughts: Did the factory
never needed to tighten them? and You will probably have to re-spray the
bolts of you do wind up moving them.
You might have success if you protect the flats with blue painters tape to
test for tightness, but once it moves I don't see any solution that doesn't
involve more paint.

I bought fuel twice yesterday travelling between states and paid ?0.80/L
($3.999/US gal) in Ohio. And breathed a sigh of relief that I did a driving
trip from Missouri to California and back -- 4700 miles -- in January!
California is headed the UK's way on pricing faster than the US midwest=

decided to top off the tank, even though it was still half full. Toured
around the local gas stations to find out where the cheapest fuel might be
available. To compare like with like and remembering one US gallon is
effectively 3.8 litres (gas is only sold by the litre in the U.K.) the
cheapest was one US gallon cost USD 8.77. Just after lunch I passed the
same gas station where the price I paid this morning had risen from 8.77 to
9..12. Diesel was even more! Thankfully, a pint of my favourite beer
hasn?t changed - yet.

Is the latest definition of being ?learned and well-informed? showing the
world on your ?Teams? and ?Zoom? meetings that you have a book-lined study
full of titles that are all illegible?
