Could The etrailer 16-Gauge Steel # HP36VR Be Installed Using Bolts Instead of Welding

Question:

I have a small traailer for a CS 16. The trailer is 2 inch galvanized channel. Can I drill holes in the back plate and bolt the fender to the 2 inch channel? Thanks

If you wanted to use bolts to attach these Redline Trailer Fenders, part # HP36VR, to your trailer instead of welding it you could.

As long as you used enough bolts to secure this fender to your trailer you would not have a problem using bolts to install it instead of welding.

I would recommend you use Loctite Threadlocker 242, part # LT37477, on the nuts and bolts to help prevent them from vibrating loose and causing the fenders to detach from your trailer while driving.
