71 inner fender questions.

[VicsGarage]

I bumped up an old tread that was on the firewall for the same question. But figured I’d get straight to it in its own.



Does anyone happen to have pictures of the inner fenders to determine which holes are factory and what they’re for?

My old ones have a bunch of holes drilled in them and I want to fix the ones that aren’t factory.

I have 71 E body ones. But it has holes that mine doesn’t, and mine has holes that the e body ones don’t. So I don’t know.

I beleive that the 71 B body is the same as the E bodies. Looking at your pictures I am pretty sure all of the holes are supposed to be there on the drivers side. I am not as confident on the passenger side.

Here you can see what some of the holes are for on the passenger side.

Yeah it’s funny. The new ones I have, have a lot less holes. Here’s my new ones.

I agree with all the small holes. I thought that the larger hole on the top left of your picture, marked “wire harness” was for the manual windshield washer hoses though. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.

My bad, you are correct. The wiring harness goes down to the bulkhead connector.

The heater hose support bracket on the top of the shock must be an LA eng. only I don't ever recall seeing one before.

That heater hose bracket is an improvement from the original factory piece.

I saw this done on another Mopar at a local car show. It's the heater hose bracket that goes behind the alternator. I just bent it to fit the top of the shock.

The original heater hose bracket mounting hole is just above the improved bracket in the above photo I posted.
The original heater hose bracket is just a black plastic loop that plugs into that hole.
Here it is - I've circled it.

I prefer the one I made as it is much more sturdier that the factory original.
