I do not have the equipment or the ability to do significant repair or welding. All I have are basic hand tools to work with. Any suggestions regarding manufacturer, supplier, brand Etc. will be welcomed. Thank you in advance to all.

Well in a nutshell, -the reproduction fender that most people will say is the WORST quality is also considered the BEST quality reproduction fender on the market. In other words, the reproduction 1931 front fenders have quite a few issues that are severe, ...however they are the best available if you want new ones.
I will be very honest with you. If you only have basic tools & skillset, then you likely will be unable to work the new fenders because it does require some specialty tooling along with a bunch of time to do a good job. Somewhere there is a link to a How-To that I made on what is involved with re-working the reproduction fenders. Maybe you (-or someone) can find that where you can see what all is involved.
