How did you get your fabricated bracket and nut into a position to rivet into place? Did the piece fit through the tiny hole in the access compartment or did you insert the plate through another opening? Thank you very much

I used a scrap piece of wire that was knotted at one end. The knot was on the backside (welded side) of the bracket and through one of the rivet holes. The wire/bracket was then just pulled through the compartment and the B pillar. If that doesn't make sense, let me know.

Thank you. I think I understand. You went through the wheel well access panel, then used the wire to pull your bracket the the small circular inside the access panel opening /pillar (size of a 50 cent piece) to get the bracket over the exterior part of the body in order to rivet it into place. I originally thought I would just be able to place the bracket inside the access compartment to rivet the bracket to the outside. I didnt realize there was another small compartment only accessible via that small 50 cent piece sized hole. I looked all around to figure out how to get the bracket against that outside of the body. I will give it a shot to go through the small hole. Thank you
