Re: side marker install (elephantegra)

Here's the pic I made:
I think in reality that 3/4" measurement is more like 1/2".
I also have a diagram showing the exact measurements of the cutout, but I can't find it on my computer at the moment.
What I did was remove the fenders from my car (actually I did the driver side one on my new black fender before installing it), drew the diagram at actual size in AutoCad and printed it out, then taped it to the BACK of the fender in the correct location. Then I used an Xacto to cut the paper diagram along the lines, which left score lines in the backside of the fender sheetmetal. Then I drilled a hole and used my metal nibbler from Radio Shack to make the hole.
When I made the holes on my old fenders, I was cutting from the back of the fender, having the nibbler poke thru to the front. Unfortunately this made a little paint chip off near the edges of the holes. On these fenders I made the marks for the hole on the backside so that I could stick the nibbler thru from the front and follow it along the lines on the backside so that it wouldn't chip the paint off. I put down masking tape on the front so the nibbler wouldn't scratch the paint, although my fenders need to be painted anyway so it didn't matter that much. HTH, I'll try to find the hole measurements.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Re: side marker install (Jbunn2001)
Here is a link to help you out:
http://www.giuffre.com/persona...s.pdf
Also, I spoke to someone from passwordjdm when i was installing mine and asked for the exact measurements of where the sidemarker sits on the fender. I was told (this is what i went by as well with the help of the link above), from the very back part of the fender (where the fender meets the door), its 4.5 (4 1/2) inches and from the top of the fender (where the fender meets the hood), its 8.75 (8 3/4) inches.
Hope this helps.....PM if you have any problems. Good Luck!
