Other than the bolts which attach to captive nuts on the fender under =
where
the front apron sits, I am aware of only one bolt which screws into a
captive nut in a TR2 or TR3 front fender =96 the one which is accessed =
from
the footwell.  A picture would be very helpful as I have just looked at =
my
cars and cannot understand what you are referring to.

My previous post a few months ago on this failed to trigger a response - =
as
we're now about to hang the finished front fenders, I'm hoping someone =
has a
suggestion ...

=20

The car in question is a 1954 TR2 long-door and the question is how the =
rear
bolt fastening the fender to the scuttle is inserted/tightened?  There =
are
two mounting points along the scuttle.  Both use =BC inch UNF bolts that =
screw
into captive nuts in the fender.  The front one is obvious as there is a
hole in the scuttle accessible from the footwell.  No access for the =
rear
bolt.  While it could be loosely screwed into the captive nut and slid =
into
the mounting point on the scuttle which is open on the bottom, how is it
tightened?

=20

Surely someone has experienced this?=20

=20

As always, any been-there-done-that thoughts would be muchly =
appreciated.

Cheers,
