Default 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.
