1939 Standard front fender braces
 

1939 Ford Standard front fenders.
Are there only one brace fitted per fender?
As looking Macs offer a short one and a longer one?
I have one one fitted per side at lower wheel arch aft of wheel.
Is this correct. They would be longer ones.
Thanks,

There are two braces per fender. The 'long' ones you have aft of the tire & the short ones that go between the inner fender and the front cross member behind the radiator.
Try to find original ones if you can because the aftermarket ones will work but don't fit quite right.

I agree. The repop short ones are total crap. Not even close to authentic. The longer ones (repop) will work but will take a lot of "fitting" to make them right.
