  Talk to Roy Nacewicz.

Most of the bolts used to mount the fenders and other front clip parts are the same for a 40 and 41. The kits supplied by the popular vendors will not have the correct type and number of bolts for your front clip.

Here is the link to Roy's website:

When you are assembling your car, have a can of semi-gloss clear paint and an artist brush handy to coat the S-2 (black coated) bolts and nuts. This will help to keep them rust free.

  The problem with finding body parts for '41 is that there were at least two separate and different front fender styles that year due to a factory "running change". That is why most vendors don't list them.
