Re: Front fender braces ?? It is my understanding that the stamped steel braces were introduced in the 1930 model year. Gar Williams

Re: Front fender braces ?? If I understand the Judging Standards correctly (Section 4, page 4-14 Revised 2011 ff) the front fender braces underwent a number of changes:
Thru April 1929 – forged with 3-bolt mounting; April 1929 – stamped brackets with tapered channel and 3-bolt mounting (both forged and stamped used during April/May 1929); November 1929 – stamped brackets with straight channel and 2-bolt mounting; January 1930 – new forged design with 3-bolt mounting; April 1930 – stamped steel with open side of the channel facing fender. There were other changes having to do with reinforcements, channel length, etc., which are spelled out in the Judging Standards. |

Re: Front fender braces ?? Hey Steve, I'ed go with the forged type, much stronger than the pressed steel..The steel type tend to crack at the bottom. Greg out west, |
