In the process of mounting the stock tail lamp housing and bracket on my 71 roadster. I have a new housing and bracket and have taken all fender mounting hardware out. With the two lower front mount bolts in place and the bracket around the rear frame loop installed the lamp housing fits OK but the center mounting bolt that goes thru the fender and bracket # 062169 will not line up. The hole in the fender is too low to line up with the frame mounted bracket. Also, the bolts through the slotted lower mount holes are at the top of the slots, almost as if the fender needs more arch to it. Stock original fender AFAIK. I was thinking it could also be a bit of distortion in the rear frame loop but if thats the case the bending would have to be towards the front of the loop like the frame is "swaybacked" rather than drooping at the back of the loop . Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
