I am putting an air cleaner nut plate on my '61 fender that did not have one. Does someone have a photo of the inside and outside of the FI nut plate without the air cleaner installed? Thanks

Not my car - that one has an Ididit column and Jim Meyer front suspension; you can see the rack & pinion steering at the far right in the photo.- Top

The nut plate goes on the wheel side of the inner fender, and the shank of the rivet is peened against the nut plate.- Top

Larry,
I'm guessing that there are others like myself. I can show you exactly what an original looks like, what its dimensions are, what's unique about the nuts on the back, etc. I'm reluctant to do that, because I don't know whether you have an original fuelie, or whether you're "building" one. Please understand my hesitancy, and possibly that of others. Many of us have been burned by others taking advantage of our knowledge. Even back in the late 70's, when I wrote the Restorer article on how to tell a fuelie, I omitted a couple of things I knew. Those omissions have enabled to sort out several fakes from originals over the years.
Regards,
Mike- Top
