Fender mounting pad?
Okay another one. Getting ready to hang the fenders and seem to be missing a piece. At the read near the door there is a stud on the fender that feeds into the car to secure the fender. Is there a spacer/pad or anything the goes on the stud between the fender and the body? I cannot find any part numbers or even a pic of this in any manuals. Thanks

Re: Fender mounting pad?
There should be no pad (I will check the ILL to be sure). Usually a shim/shim pack is used to get the fender curvature to match the door panel.
HERE IS AN ILL - There is a dotted line but no ASSY DETAIL shown. Last edited by KULTULZ; 02-15-2022 at 02:26 PM. |

Re: Fender mounting pad?
if it goes into the passenger compt along with shims a thin piece of rubber can be used to seal it also will eliminate noises i have found that torch down roofing material works well for thin gaskets

There is also a narrow rubber strip that goes in between the top of the fender and the curve at the top of the cowl, part # BA-16126-A. It appears Mac's is no longer selling these, but you might check with Dennis Carpenter. I only have a real old catalog of theirs. |
