[Healeys] rear fenders

[Alan Seigrist]

Brad -

As far as I am aware everyone's healey panels fit poorly.  You are much
better off repairing your old panels, or buying good used ones (if you can
find them).  The amount of rework on a new fender can easily cost more than
what it will cost to fix rust holes in your old fender.

I've seen the insanity on all LBC's - the local British car shop here in
Hong Kong has a '59 MGA - they had to replace a fiberglass fender that came
with the car so bought a new one... the amount of work that went in to
making it fit properly was insane... including building a 1/4" of weld on
the back of the fender so that the door gap would be correct as original...
scary!

Cheers,

Alan
