1929 Coupe with Stamped Fender Brackets

Front Fender Brackets

Do the bolts go to the inside of the car and the nuts on the outside of the car or the other way around?

Rear Fender Brackets

Same Question

Bolt heads on outside, ...nuts on inside of frame rail.

Question? Could we generalize and say that all chassis nuts and bolts have the bolt heads on the outside and the nuts on the inside?

Hate to generalize but they do look better that way. Had and argument going on the orientation of the bolts holding the bumperettes to the rear bracket. Some pix show them threads/nuts outboard, others heads out. I think they look better heads out anyway.

Ummm, do you/we exclude the rear motor mount bolts in this generalized rule? What about Service Brake Cross-shaft fasteners?? Battery support carrier too. Couple of other fasteners too. We probably shouldn't make this new generalized rule!
