Grant MacPherson Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I will start with the mirror, How do you tighten the rear nut on the mirror without cutting out the inner sructure? I spent quite awhile and a few choice words getting flat washer, lock washer and nut on it but can't get a wrench on it to tighten. Was thinking of picking up a 7/16 crow foot and try that? The other problem today was went to install the lower fender shields from the parts place and they do not fit very well, afraid they will break if I bolt them in as they are. Do you heat them to reshape or slot the holes? any help would be great thanks Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Grant, I went with a 1/4" drive socket set with a few extensions and a swivel joint. It's tricky, and you may have to use a "shepard's hook" to align the top end onto the nut while holding the driver at the bottom.... Like I said, it's tricky. As for the lower fender shields, do you have any photos ? Not sure what you're trying to fit together... Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant MacPherson Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hi Aaron Couldn't get a socket on the mirror, ended up with a custom bent wrench. am I being too picky on the fender fillers? it fits nice on the inner frame buts drops off as it goes outward. were yours the same? thanks Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 That works !!! LOL I've got meat hooks for hands, (and sausages for fingers) so the bent wrench wasn't as easy an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant MacPherson Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 that seems to fit a lot tigher to the bottom of the frame than mine does? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
