28-29 forged front fender braces, $25 plus shipping

wrndln · 02-15-2013, 10:09 PM

I am pretty sure these braces are for a 30 or 31 model A. Some later model A's used forged fender braces. I had a set like this and they don't have the thick lower bolt boss that 28/early 29's have. These brackets also have the wider arc for the later fenders. Just trying to help, so some buyer isn't disappointed.

Mel,
I found a picture I took a few years ago showing the differences between 28/29 (top) and 30/31 (bottom). Note the thicker boss on the bottom bolt hole on the 28/29 brace. Also note the wider arc on the 30/31 brace. Just a little more information for you. BTW, your price for the braces is quite reasonable.

Thanks again for the info. I did sell them and explained to the buyer, as it turns out he could use the 30-31. Info came in handy, learn something new everyday, neat.
