Who has mounted Mikey’s Fender Liners?, 914 Rubber Issue Options

[RickS]

Just received the box with the liners. Instead of the stated “clips” for mounting they came with rivets. Clips suggest clipping the liners to the fenders or other attachment points rivets on the other hand... Am a bit hesitant to start drilling holes in my original sheet metal. No instructions were provided either.

Any one done this or have suggestions of the least invasive way they mounted these not using “clips”?

Thanks to Cary, got the drivers side done. While the rockers were off lots of cleaning, rust treatment and painting. There was the usual old can of worms, but very surface tin worms.

One disappointment was was the reason why I bought the liners was to prevent mud and crud from building up behind the rocker by the jack point leading to rust and expensive repairs unless cleaned out religiously. Since I also have oil lines running through the rocker, it was another place to collect mud and rust. So... I decided to fab some lower blocking plates out of a heavy duty plastic. Did the cardboard template and then made the plate which is mounted ahead of the liner.

Is that grease nipple stock? I've never noticed a fitting there, but then again I've never had a reason to look for one there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
