That's a slick idea with the pegboard and anchors. Also good to reuse the original hardware, I bought fender mounting kits and they are not like original at all in my opinion.

Yes Eric, I wanted the ORIGINAL bolts and washers, but when you paint it in pieces you have to find a way to paint the bolts and washers and not mar the finish when tightening. I use a Metric socket so it is a bit larger with a silicon tape over the heads. .As you saw the bolts were on cardboard with aluminum foils tape. It holds up better to the paint and primers and I do the same for powder-coating. The aluminum is my ground conductor connecting all parts to the grid. Slick Idea I came up with after trying to use jumpers on every oneThe pegboard and anchors I came up with to get paint over more of the washers and not have to peal them off when dry. The screw in the center and anchors can be re-used.. Good Luck with yours. I have a long way to go before I am done with this one.
