Ideal for restoration or replacement, the set helps maintain proper panel alignment, reduce vibration, and prevent water intrusion while offering long-lasting durability and easy bolt-in installation.
Features:
- Fits 1979–1985 Ford Mustang (select models; verify fitment before purchase).
- 6-piece set provides all needed fender fasteners for common mounting points.
- Hardened steel construction for strength and long-term reliability.
- Yellow dichromate (yellow chromate) finish resists rust and restores factory appearance.
- Direct-fit replacement for worn or missing bolts to secure fender panels and trim.
- Easy to install—ideal for restorations, maintenance, or cosmetic refreshes.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 15-30 minutes
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on level ground and open the hood. If needed, support the fender with a helper or a safe prop to maintain alignment.
- Spray penetrating oil on existing bolts if corroded and allow it to soak several minutes.
- Remove the old bolts using the appropriate socket or wrench. Retain any reusable washers or clips if in good condition.
- Clean bolt holes and mating surfaces with a rag or wire brush to remove rust, dirt, and old sealant.
- Position the fender and hand-thread the new bolts into place to avoid cross-threading. Start all bolts before final tightening to ensure proper alignment.
- Tighten bolts evenly in sequence. If available, tighten to the manufacturer's torque specification; otherwise tighten snugly without overtightening (approximately 8–12 ft·lb as a general guideline).
- Re-check panel gaps and alignment, adjust if necessary, and ensure all fasteners are secure.
- Optionally apply a small amount of anti-seize to bolt threads for easier future removal and recheck torque after a short test drive.
