Front fender brace for 36 cabriolet
Just put the fenders on my 36 Cabriolet restoration. I have two different front fender supports. One is 21 1/2" long and the others are 23" long, the short ones can be bent a little and will pull the fender in a little and the longer ones will push the fender out a little depending on where it attaches to the frame. Where are they supposed to attach to the frame???? Does anyone know the correct length for the brace?? Help! thanks Bruce

Re: Front fender brace for 36 cabriolet
If you are talking about the “flat” brace that also supports the headlight, I know that 1935 is different from 1936. Different length. There is a good article on the H.A.M.B. search Fender Brace

A new old stock '36 front fender brace 68-16094 measures 23". It attaches to the frame under the upper bolt that also attaches the fender to the frame.

Re: Front fender brace for 36 cabriolet
With those dimensions it can only be the brace directly behind the wheel opening. The main bracket forward of the wheel opening that supports the head lamp is much shorter in overall length (height).

Re: Front fender brace for 36 cabriolet
When I was looking for info on the brace; someone posted a couple pictures that showed it mounted thru the fender lip instead of the direct to the frame.
