My neighbor is attempting to mount the front fenders on his '56 wagon. He removed them for restoration. The lowest mounting hole at the rear of the fender matches up with a hole in the rocker. The hole in the rocker panel is round, about 1/2 inch in diameter. There is no nut in the hole. What is used in the rocker hole to thread a bolt into to secure the fender?
Thanks for your reply in advance.

My local hardware store has these nuts, they are called "U nuts" in the hardware trade. I just picked up some last week at Morgan Hardware in Rockmart GA.
