Getting ready to install the rear wings, and have a bunch of neat tips on the beadig saved from a previous thread. But have no information in my archives on the stone guards.
Any tips, don't do's and any suggestions would be very appreciated. I have previously, bought a very nice set of NOS stone guards on ebay. At the going rate for a reproduction set I don't want to mess these up. Both pieces have an apparent screw hole in them, what type of screw does it take? Flat head, Pan head, round head, etc., etc.

I have included two pictures so click on the appropriate area to see the second one, if it isn't in the post.

As always thanks for the help!

When I took TS13571L apart, it had two oval-head screws holding the smaller pieces to the body. Same screws that hold most of the interior panels in place; plus appeared to be original paint only under the stoneguards; so I believe they were original. The larger pieces had no screws at all, only crimped to the fender. Click on the thumbnails below for large photos.

I had similar screws on my TR3 when I took it to bits.
Having original old stock will make the job so much easier than with the repro ones that need a lot of re-shaping to get them to fit.
As far as I remember the larger guard has tabs that bend around the edge of the wing.
Yours are lovely and shiny!

Re the sone guards....I remember this being lots of hand work.
FYI...on current stock...we have found the ones from TRF are
much nicer than ones from the other vendors. MUCH nicer. Gil

Perhaps they have changed the product offered as my experience (2 years ago)was quite different. I had to return the set I got from TRF as it seemed unlikely they would fit w/o more tweaking than I cared to do.

The one on the left was from TRF, on the right is the one that came off the car (I think it came from Vicky Brit).
