Title: More fender turn signal questions
Post by: 1970 cuda Joe on October 31, 2024, 05:31:04 PM
Happy Halloween everybody :)

I'm finally getting back to my fender mounted turn signal lights on the 1970 cuda.
There was a barrel clip that came with everything. I'm guessing that snaps into the fender & the light housing pushes through it...correct? Some of the drawings I've seen indicate that it goes below the fender. Thank you, Joe

Tell everyone the answer in case someone else has the same question.

It really helps members to share information.
 It might help you someday.

I was correct on my thoughts of the barrel clip. It pushes into the hole in the fender & the pin on the t/s light housing pushes through it, kind of in the same manner as you might install emblems with pins instead of tape....Joe

Thanks for the answer.  78 people didn't know the answer and now they do. Pics help also.
Glad you got the information!

I didn't think it would be a hard question to answer. There was quite a few 70 cudas built with the A01 option....Yes? I'm just trying to put back some of the things that were gone. I had enough evidence to say that car had that option. I need to invest in another camera as mine died & I'm a flip phone type of guy.....Joe

I added the A01 to may car and just used PAL nuts instead of the clip to secure those to the fenders. Picture is from another thread on here

Well, I guess i'm still not there yet. The housing & gasket sit on the top of the fender. Was the light assm with lens, bulb & pigtail designed to go from the bottom side, through the hole in the fender & the little screw go through the bracket into the housing? Sorry. Just trying to undo what has happened to the car years ago & I think the big hole in the fender is too small. Maybe somebody could measure the big hole please.....Thank you, Joe

I have an original 1970 fender with the turn signal mounting - I will try to get over to storage and take a few photos and measurements

Thank you. I measured the hole in the gasket & it measures .600....Joe
