[Healeys] Original conception, bent over together, spread open and bent over, or twisted

[sentenac.rw at gmail.com]

Well, maybe no one has responded yet so I'll offer what I can.
Rolling the tabs up around the jaws of needle nose pliers has some
advantages.  You can undo it and loosen or remove the beading in case
you have some repainting to do.  Rolling gives you some torque in
pulling the beading down into place.  It gets the tabs out of the way
without tempting you to cut them short.  All to one side or the other
or one each on either side depending on the physical situation the tab
is in.

>Not sure if this subject was ever covered.  In the original conception of the big Healey, how was the tabs on the bottom of the fender beading bent to secure? Over the years I have seen the two tabs bent over the fender lip together, separated and bent over on opposite sides (ft. only), and also twisted together. Anyone know the technique from the factory?
