I am getting started on the body work on my rear fenders. What I currently have has been somewhat modified poorly with braces that look terrible. just whatever scraps were laying around poorly welded in place.
What I need is some pictures or something to reference what the original rear and front fender braces looked like and location. I have picked up some ordinals but would be good to see how they go.

I'll get back to you here with some pictures on the tread. Might take a few days till I can do it.

This is all I have at the moment from a '38 from years ago. I will take more of my '39 tomorrow.

Thank you those are very helpful. Looks like I have obtained the needed brackets and now how they go.

The hardest part is finding the hollow 11/16 bucket bolts and nuts. If you have them you are golden.

Are you talking about the ones that hold the headlight buckets on? If so I have those and they are good.
