69/70 Fender fasteners
« on: August 12, 2022, 05:47:04 PM »
2 questions:

Were U-nuts used for the top of fender bolts (ie U-nuts being installed along top of aprons).  Similar to a typical ?69 mustang.   Or were the U-nuts not installed by ford and AOsmith just used regular nuts?

At the lower aft fender bolt that goes into rocker (see second photo),  were spacers used between the fender and rocker?  Seems to be gapped and in need of spacers on my particular car.

Thanks

U nuts were used in the aprons just like a regular Mustang.
