OK...If I use the "early rounded style fender" on this July 1928 Pickup as the Standards indicate...Should this type of fender have the "flat stamped steel plate" reinforcement bracket OR the "Steel forging" reinforcement bracket on the fender?

OR, would either/or be acceptable?

Now...The early, rounded style fender ALSO came with the "Steel forging" bracket.

Thanks.

Steve, Do you have an early design fender (original) with the forged reinforcement? Or does anyone? All early fenders I have seen had the flat design reinforcement.


There were actually two designs for the early fender - 7" and 5" frame flange (see attached photos).
