Looks as though screws (8) should be used, correct?, but what size? also looks like i need to make my own gasket as i can't find them for the '58 or '59's at parts houses...
thx

The same as for a Task Force(55-57)? I don't think the Bucket changed much...again some one here will know. Sorry, not a lot of help.

My '58 had a paste that is similar to seam sealer between the buckets and the fenders. I am just going to use seam sealer from a caulking tube. Chad | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 | you can use seam sealer or go to an RV store and get a roll of butyl tape they use for windows. (about 10$). IT is about an inch wide, and stays soft. It is like plumbers putty but already flattened into a nice roll. Put it on the fender, peel the paper off, place your bucket and screw it in place, then peel off the excess. either way should work well, | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 65 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 65 | Steve, Chad and Mike I appreciate your input, links and suggestions. Going to order the hardware kit and i'll tinker with the butyl tape. thx
