Im working on aligning a fender and im having some difficulties. This is the passengerside fender and im looking for a measurement from the top of the mounting flange behind the hood hinge to the top of the fender, right at the last bolt. I have 2 fenders for the passengerside but they are both aftermarket ones. They both measure the same but they are almost 3/8" different from the driverside which is a factory fender.

Thanks

 

What brand are they?...

 

One was from 2005, for some reason I think the brand was cobra? The other is from last year, amazon, no idea of brand.

 

with as many parts still available for these cars, id throw them china things in the can and get some good factory replacements

 

I took a measurement on my 1984 TA where you asked. Looks to be 2-3/8”. My fenders are factory.

 

well, to be fair, im cutting the **** out of these fenders so I dont want to chop up good factory ones.

 

Thank you kind sir!

Thats confirms what I was suspecting. My factory and aftermarket driverside fenders are 2-3/8 but the passengerside ones are just under 2-3/4. They dont line up with the door the same way either. Guess im drilling spot welds and adjusting.

 

So I drilled out the spot welds to about halfway down the fender and it dropped almost perfectly into place at 2-3/8". Alignment is much better however now the bracket on tye bottom where it bolts to the pinch rail needs to be reworked.
