'69 Charger fender install - J-bolts for hood hinge ?

[Jack Parmentier]

I'm installing my fenders on my '69 Charger after painting, but don't recall the bolt install & J-clips for the hood hinge.

To test, I put a new after-market J-clip in the fender where the upper-bolt on the hood hinge installs, but it seems like it adds too much thickness -- causing the fender to door/cowl distance to be too wide.

Is is correct to put a J-clip there ? or is it bolt/nut ?

Perhaps I need to use the old OEM J-clip that seems thinner (see photo -- one on Left) ?


Thanks for the help... Jack

Does anyone know where you can purchase the new J bolts

if it holds the fender out, simply tap the area on the inner fender "in"; the stud/nut on the cowl holds the fender in place
