I see Bob Drake is out but Dennis Carpenter has them. Does anyone know if they're sourced from the same stamper? I heard good things about the Drake rears, nothing about Carpenters. Nothing in the search.... Thanks.....

I believe Drake's rear fenders are the only steel fenders being made, so if Carpenters are steel, they're probably made by Drakes.

I seriously doubt that Carpenter would have tooled up his own 36 fenders. I have to believe they are both coming from the same stamping source, most likely in China. These big suppliers do work together on items like this, especially when they involve expensive tooling.
