Thanks Dale
Before I refit the fender I'll have to fit fresh seals. The original seals are stapled in place. I discovered that the factory staples have exactly the same pitch as T50 staples that you would use for upholstery DIT and the like. I don't have a staple gun man enough to punch through steel, but I had a cunning plan
I glued the new rubber seals to the steel mounting plates with a contact adhesive (I would not recomend this as it reacts with the paint
) Luckily it's hidden under the seal
Then using the original staple holes ran a 1/16" drill through the new rubber seal.
After that it was a simple job to push some new staples throught both steel and rubber and clench them over with a paralell punch.
Before and after
