So ive taken off my fenders, bolted up everything except the front bolt on the actual fender. It requires a nut and bolt to be used, however i cant get to the other side to put the nut on as the whole thing is metal, no way to get to it. Am I able to drill through the brace onto the fender or will this be detrimental to the actual point of installing braces?
You should have been supplied with a nut on the end of a long metal strip, which can be inserted further up the fender and fed down to the hole the brace bolts on to. I purchased my braces second hand and didn't get this luxury, so I simply taped a bolt (not the nut) to the end of a coat hanger and fed it through the hole. Fiddly, but not hard. Tightening it up simply meant grasping the end of the bolt with some monkey grips or pliers and tightening the nut.
