One can use a few dabs of weather strip cement to get the flat part of the welt to stay in the correct position on the fender 1st, but may need repositioning. Also, cut enough 'v' slits to help with curvature. The front fender welt stops short of the frame rail at the front of the splash apron area. On some '31 models, the rear fender and splash apron welt is one continuous piece tucked in to the corner /intersection. Most vendors sell 3/16" welt, while others like 1/4" which closes the gap a little better. The gas tank uses a smaller bulb diameter.
