Topic: SJ End cap nuts

[J_Speegle]

The cap was installed on the car, but the nut only went as far as the yellow arrow. This allowed the cap to be almost a 1/4" away from the car body.
The car was painted.
The nut, washer and stud from the yellow arrow to the green arrow was painted as well.
The paint dried and someone then tightened the nut, leaving the unpainted area between the yellow and blue arrow.

Yes fully understand that these clues are what brought us to the conclusion of how 66 San Jose cars were built and the way its been described on the site since it was first mentioned.  But your illustration sure helped a few more understand this detail.
