This may be "heresy" , but when we last removed the front apron on
Casper (TR3), I was tired of fooling with the fender bead, and those
pesky tabs. Sooo we took a very small drill, and some matching small
screws, and screwed those tabs in place. The screws are "invisible",
and they keep everything aligned, and out of the way ... Just a
thought for the thinkers ...

>tighten them. This pulls the lip of the apron into alignment with the
>fenders. I finish tightening all the bolts and it is done.
