    The worst part on mine are the top were the fender bolts on, I was thinking of maybe making a cap to fit over the old one ,or just cutting the old ones off and making new ones.I thought I check here first to see what others had done about the problem.

    I have some pieces that need some work; but, might make good patch material. I will get pictures this weekend.
