How to attach the inner fender dust sheilds

[jbgroby]

I was able to pick up a set of OEM inner fender braces and new dust shield rubber from Tony at 4-5-6 chevy (Thank You) Does any one have an explaination on how to attach them of a guideline on placement?

Is it as simple as stripping some copper wire and making staples?

Yep! That's exactly what I did. I clamped them together drilled small holes and ran the wire.

I made staples out of some small wire several years ago. I made a radiator seal for my 65 out of some material I had purchased and used the original holes. It looks factory. Good Luck.

Anybody got a pic I'm trying to get them to set right?

I just used staples out of my staple gun. I held the piece of rubber in place and drilled holes in the rubber using the existing holes in the metal piece as a guide. The staples fit perfect, just shoved them through the rubber and bent them over.

Stainless paper clips has worked for me. You can reshape to fit old holes.

Thanks for the picture, that helps me a lot (worht a thousand words) will use copper wire, AND some adheavsive - I likes lots of protection

I have stainless staples here just for that purpose, I use a hammer and dolly to bend them over after drilling the holes.

I used a rivet gun. Drilled some holes through the molding and sheet metal, put some RTV adhesive on both the panel and molding, stuck them together and used a rivet.

I used floral pins. I have a picture of them here:

Hi all. the corvairs "tins" ave the same type of staple to hold the rubbers. You can but the stainless steel wire from Clarks Corvair also.
