Two Questions - Diamond Plate and Fender Spacers

[Oldragbaggers]

Planovet, what did you seal yours up with, or did you just screw it on?

Glad to hear that the fender issue is going to resolve itself.

For a second there I was going to recommend Cragar SS's and some air shocks so you could get that 70's muscle car vibe going... you know, with the raised white letter tires sticking out 2-3 inches.

No, let's not go there.

I used a sealant around the edges before I attached the diamond plate. I can't remember which one exactly but it was similar to this:

I attached the side trim with screws and the front plate with staples. I covered up the staples with a flat trim molding.

I have seen some metal fenders that stand off with an open gap from the trailer a good 1" or so and are only attached at the bottom to the trailer frame. I was told that is in case the fender hits something and is pushed in, it doesn't push into the side of the trailer.
