fender studs

[muscleonly]

Did all 1970 Challengers use studs and nuts to mount fender, which is correct studs and nuts or bolts, I know its a mix of both but which way is correct, all bolts or the 3 center most studs on both sides like I've seen on a lot of cars

I've heard it was more common on T/A's and AAR's, but have not been able to confirm it.

I would say MOST 1970 Challengers DID NOT use studs/nuts

[muscleonly]

There must have been some direction or mandate they couldn't have just done whatever they wanted as the car went down the assmbly line

[muscleonly]

Also when you look up fender bolt kits for the Challenger they all include studs and nuts

[anlauto]

The studs/nuts included in ALL fender bolt kits available, are for the fender-to-rocker panel. Two per side. plus one other stud/nut for inside the fender at the upper cowl bracket.

Who makes a correct assmbly manual for 1970 Challenger T/As or just the 70 Challengers in general

Dave wise. MMC detroit.

Looking at the fastener guide...

"Studs, nuts and U nuts have been found on the fender to inner fender mounting on the mid to rear position of some T/A, AAR's as well as on some 1971-74 vehicles."

My 73 used three studs/nuts on each fender.

Purely guessing, but it very well could have been a supply issue and/or could have been limited to one factory.

Mine has bolts for what it's worth and I think it was from Los Angeles factory, but I should double check

My AAR has them and I could be wrong but they might possibly be there to match the hood bow
