I have busted nearly every bolt that holds the fender to the fender well. No big deal as fender well sheet metal is all rotted and needs replaced anyway.(Like everywhere else on this truck!) I was going to use weldnuts from MC for the fender to bolt to. Just wondered if somebody used a newer better, or different method. I was thinking of going the easy route and using self tappers but didn't think that would be very strong. Thanks

I think this is a recent discussion about those bolts/washers?

I'll leave this post here, for people with more first-hand experience with these captive nuts to read and offer advice.

I had someone weld-in the appropriate captive nuts.
