Thread: spindle mounted fenders

Tweet

Here's a picture of the 27 roadster with the spindle mounted fenders on it. Sorry, but I don't have a picture of the inside of the wheel, but the fender supports were exactly as shown in the solid model I created. Hint----I don't know what you are using for fenders, but----in the old days they were cut from a spare tire cover. This was O.K. in the old days when people ran real skinny tires on the front of their cars. What I found was that running 14" radial tires P165 (I think), the spare tire covers were not wide enough. If you have a trailer manufacturer in your area, you can buy steel fenders in practically any radius and width that you want, and they are really inexpensive.---thats what I did.
Another area of interest on the roadster in the picture is the DuVall style split windshield. I built the frame with some scrap #10 gauge plate with a peice of glass channel welded to the back side of it.
