However if you must have original, then make fabric patches with pinked edges. Glue them in just like doing a control surface patch, shrink until taut and then dope over the top before painting. That's how the Chinese did it.

I used some old aviation aluminum that came off an old Cessna wing; measured and cut round plates to fit back over the holes using tinnerman clips and screws to hold in place. Painted them a flat gray to sort of match the color in the wheel well. They have never come loose or fallen off in the breezy wheel well.

My CJ is almost out of the paint shop and the painter wants to paint the wheel well. I would like to get the wheel well back to original condition.Thanks in advance. > > Rich > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=497296#497296 > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:28:49 AM PST US From: Warren Hill Subject: Re: Yak-List: Wheel Well Fabric Redo This is what Craig Payne=99s painted wheel well covers look like when installed. They fit perfectly.
