Denny---I probably will make some form of template. The 3 key areas are #1--where the bracket attaches to the frame #2--where the bracket touches the inside of the fender at the headlight bar holes, and #3 at the outer lip of the fender, where there is a single bolt. Since the aftermarket braces that are on there now do fit well in those 3 areas, I will remove them one at a time, and bolt them to a steel frame (which I will build from scrap I have laying around) using the 3 base bolt holes. I will bolt peices of steel to the other 2 critical areas higher up on the fender brace, and when they are securely bolted in place, I will weld "bridges" to them from the steel frame. Then when everything has cooled, I will unbolt the aftermarket brace and remove it. ---Then I will bolt the original "new" fender braces to the same 3 base bolt holes on my welded steel frame, then heat and bend then so that they match up to the holes in my weldment. This should get things "very close". It is a kind of reverse template, but I have used this method before on similar projects, and it works very well.---BrianOld guy hot rodder
