well, the way I did it, on our '41, was lay out the bolt pattern on the welting, up against the body. then punched the holes. I glued the welting to the body with contact cement, keeping the welting tight to the body line of the fender. corrected any holes that were not correct as I went. at the bottoms the welting can tend to not stay in place so I pop riveted it at the ends with the smallest rivet I could find, then installed the fenders. It worked for me and stayed in place, nice and tight.
