Listers,
I'm getting to the point where I can think about putting the rear fenders
back on. Naturally, I'm going to have to refit the chrome strips (to hide
the welding ;-)
...but all the retaining tabs on the strips are rusty; most are half gone!
I was only able to remove one intact to "copy".
This seems to be a lot of work for just a bit of steel. Anyone know if I
can buy a bunch of them in bulk? Guess I'd need about two dozen, probably
more for when I do the passengers' side.
Hmm, maybe I should look into making plastic (non-rusting!!!) ones.
Wonder how that could work... I think I might be able to get nylon
"chain" (looks like a bead necklace)- maybe the first bead could be
crunched into the fender-bead, and the rest could be crunched into the
body seam?
Anyone?
