having a brain lock on a design to mount "open" fenders on wheel spindles. OK I drill a piece of flat plate ~1 " wide to mount the ball joints. OR weld it to the spindle?
thinking about some 3/8 roundstock to go between this and the fender, with the roundstock flattenned (8 ton press) where it's drilled for small bolts mounting the fenders (easy fender replacement)
interphase between the two? weld or drill bolt holes

bolt holes might be harder to precisely locate, might be easier to lay it there and just weld it?

anybody seen any good ways that look ok?
more adjustable the better?
