Thread: Fender brace replacement---The Thrash Begins

Tweet

What you see here is the jig I built, with the aftermarket fender brace in it. Its not pretty, but its functional, made from scrap out of my bin. The secret here is to bolt everything to the fender brace, without putting any stress on the brace, then weld extensions to all the bolted on peices, then bolt the extensions to the table. Once it has cooled, I can unbolt the fender brace and remove it, and the jig will be a perfect representation of the shape that the Henry original has to be to mate with my fender.
