I have a question about putting my fender/inner fender together. In the picture below I have red arrows pointing to some of the holes I’m asking about. If I’m not putting Wheel Well trim on the car, do all these holes get bolts, some of them, or non of them? I have an AMK bolt kit, but accidentally mixed a few of the bags up in a container (Doh!!). Having trouble figuring out what bolt/U-nit’s go where.

See below link for a jpg showing the bolts I’m talking about.

Those are the holes for the bolts that hold the wheelwell to the fender lip. The "J" clips attach to the wheelwell at each bolt hole and the bolt goes thru the fender into the "J" clip (i.e., the wheelwell goes behind the lip on the fender as in your photo). A bolt should go in every hole. The wheelwell trim uses sheetmetal screws that use a much smaller hole.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking. Looks like I either lost/misplaced some j-clips or amk did not include them. http://www.camaros.net/forum/frown.gif

I don't think AMK provided enough clips. I used the same kit and was very happy with the fastener quality.

I wound up using several of the old clips because I figured out I was short on the day I assembled the front end clip.
