Hanging the rear fender

I'm at the point where I have to wall off the horn, secure the battery box and hang the fender. I remember from my Mk III that the 1/4" bolts that hold the horn mount to the battery box then go on to secure the bottom most part of the fender The sequence IIRC is:

washers on bolts, bolts through horn mount, bolts sent though the battery box with the horn mount on the forward edge of the battery box, then more washers and nuts to secure the horn mount to the batttery box. Once accomplished then fit more washers and slid fender on to the bolt ends, more washers final nuts, then move up to the next mounting point.

Is this the correct sequence? are 1" bolts of adequet length?

My 69 took a 1" 1/4-28 with an extra nut on the fender side. But then I have seen some flat mounted fenders in that area. Not sure what is happening there. I have pictures if wanted. I fitted a 71 rear fender without any of that stuff by the horn, just the holes across the strap between the shock mounts, but then the later ones didn't seem to have that either?

Dave, thanks, I'll bring some 1 1/4 bolts home tomorrow. Were you able to get some threads past your ny-locks with the 1 1/4" bolts?

Actually, I think the 1/4-28x1" was enough to go through the flat washer, horn bracket, battery tray bracket, 2 - 1/4-28 nuts, the fender, and another washer and a nylock. I may be wrong though, you couldn't go wrong with a 1 1/4" or even 1 1/2", you can always cut them, I currently have a 71 fender on it and am not using that mount at all, just the strap between the shock mounts and the 5/16" bolts/nuts and the tail lamp assembly.
