Front Wheel Well Liners

[marlene meineken]

Can anyone tell me how many of the bolts that come from the top through the
wheel well liners have nuts and washers on them and which ones are used?

Our's GMC came with none.

Marlene:

As far as I know, neither of the two bolts you refer to, are meant to support the
wheel well liner. There is only one screw with a washer on it that goes up
through the small hole in the liner into the floor of the coach.

Our 73 came with ONE right in the top of the arch, up from the wheel area
into the
floor,

Then the only thing that is holding the liner in is the screws along the
edge of the liner and the fender? One of our liners is out as when we had a
blowout last year the screws were pulled out of the liner. I do see a strip
of aluminum across the top on the plywood which has a threaded screw hole in
it which would line up with the liner where there is an indentation. Does a
screw & washer go here? All the bolts do have washers and nut's on them.

Yes, as I said earlier, the screw going thru the top of the liner and into the
underside of the floor is the only hardware holding it in place.

Alternatively, you can trim the inside bottom edge of the liner in strategic spots
with a Dremel tool using an abrasive disc and get the same effect.

I found that the liner bangs around and adds to the noise level at times,
especially over rough roads. Soooo, I added several strategically placed
bolts/washers etc. and alls quiet in the wheel well. Dean hanson
