Does anyone have any good ways of repairing the square inserts that hold the fenders on. mine were in good shape but the soccer mom van that attacked my 74 in a parking lot ripped 3 clean out. HELP? O and of course its the three hard to get ones down in the bottom of the window pillar.

I would tack them in with a mig welder, and use a soaked wrag to cool the weld with after each tack to keep the warping, and paint loss(if not repainting) to a minimum.

I used JB Weld for mine.

duct tape!

nah, the tacking thing sounds like a good idea.

If you don't intend on painting it, and don't want to burn any paint then the JB Weld would be a temporary fix that would work.

Temporary being the key word.
