1960 TR 3A Fender bead question

[GTP1960]

Being that you're messing with the fender beads, a little trick that I leaned from the forum is to pop rivet the those sliding tabs onto the outer wings. I makes it much easier to get fenders and apron into position without having to fight the fender beads. You will have to leave the screws loose holding the fenders in place onto the inner wings so you can spread the outer wings (fenders) enough to put the apron in place. Push them back into position after the apron is in place and tighten up the screws. I've had my apron off twice since the resto was finished, and this mod made the job very easy...along with putting never-sieze on all the screws.
