Tab purpose

[johnscf]

Any idea what the tabs on the top and side of the inner fender hold? Also what are the threads inside the hole on the frame for the ground ? (Center hole in the pic) I’m sure I put the ground screw someplace where I wouldn’t lose it so it is definitely lost.

I think the threads are 2/4-28.

Don’t know about the tab, I’m not using it.

Peace, Pat

Oops, 1/4-28!

I believe the tabs are to hold down various wires and tubes. For example, the tab just rear of the washer tank holds my temp. sender wire. The ones closest to the firewall hold the front left brake line and wiring harness. I believe the washer tube is meant to run under the tabs too. Seems like rough attempt to keep things in-place and somewhat "tidy"

The tab on the inner fender keeps the heater hose in place under the carbs and air cleaner on a 2000.

I used the 2 tabs back closer to the firewall for the heater hose. I don’t think it’s long enough to run as far out as the tab in the picture.
