Inner fender to cab mounting

I am starting to assemble the front sheetmetal on my 51 and was wondering if there is an anti squeak welting or some substance that goes between the inner fender and cab where it bolts together. Also between the inner fender and rad mount. Is it advisable? I thought about using a small amount of "dum dum" where it contacts the cab. Thank you in advance.

i did not use anti squeak at the inter fender/radiator connection i did at the outer fenders keep in mind the thickness builds up

at the inter fenders i added another bolt at the cab and made up a home made rubber bushing at those two bolts and the one at the frame connection, the frame connection gets a lot of movement some people just cut it off
