[TR] new 3A stone guards

[Ibsen Dow]

David,

I am in agreement with you the fit of these stone guards are terrible. I just
recently installed mine as well. I had to slowly rework the aluminum to fit
snug against the lower fenders. I almost sent mine back to the supplier, but
my old ones were so bad I couldn't justify putting them back on. They had so
many dings & small abrasions of years of driving I thought the TR3 deserves a
new set.
My original guards when they came off, there was really no rust. Just some
surface discoloration to the paint finish and wear marks into the paint
finish.
I would think if there is bare metal exposed then I would prepare the surface
with some primer & paint and any thing else to repair the rust, but I would
not use any adhesive to panel personally.

  I will be brief in complaining about the horrible fit!  After I trim  and
  fit, should a sealant be used between the stone guard and the fender to
prevent
  a repeat of the rusting out of the fender behind the stone guard?
