    as soon as they are finished running.

    the height can only be adjusted so low since the bolt is tall. i will try to get some photos of this on the car this weekend.

    hinge would be nice too. i have to test fit them though.


    i'll do fender kits for sure but what i may end up doing for you guys is just sell the washers alone as well for other spots. there are a lot of places these can go. i can do ones larger and smaller as well. but for tooling now all i have are these sizes.

    definitely not something I would ever buy but to those who want to hope youre happy with your purchase

    I personally cant see spending roughly $50 or more on some fancy bolts. before I did that I would do a seamless fender line where the fender was spot welded or even bead welded on the apron then filled in and smoothed out before painting.
    but thats just me

    Keep in mind they are billet washers there are a total of 10 washers. Plus stainless screws. Given I have bought a whole maverick for 90 bucks so yeah 50 bucks is a lot. But it what you put into you car that makes you happy right? ;)

    Unfortunately not all people can weld like you...given that is something i would love to learn. But then again not to sure why you would want to weld your fenders on unless you don't want to remove them ever. Just trying to figure out how one would keep the fenders on without a bolt. ;) never mind that would just get off one tangent.

    Either way I heard this time and time again for pretty parts. If they are not for you they weren't ment to be anyways for you. Bottom line is people look for bolt on parts buy and put on.

    I'm gonna get a set. I can't really see myself welding the fenders on, it just doesn't make sense to me. If there was a way to bolt the rear fenders on, I would be up for that as well! I'll be picking me up a set next paycheck Maverickman. Keep your eyes open for it.

    Yes, I got them last week, thanks for the quick shipment and the valve stems.
    I'm heading to Denver tomorrow but maybe next week I'll have them on.
