Fender braces

The Mercury bed is coming along.Got it blasted and treated with Por15.All those nooks and crannies were fun! And put new seam sealer in.Now I find two dents from my sandblaster-ugh! Guess they weren't very careful flipping it around.My question now is -Where can a man find fender braces? Both of mine are broken on the LWB.The braces are the ones on the front edge of the rear wheel opening on each side.I could take 'em off another bed but that still leaves me needing some at some point.I could make some out of different material but I want to be correct with this M100.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

Since I couldn't find any braces I decided to make my own.This is my first try.Took about 4hours.A bead roller would make this faster I think.

Sorry, Non-Supporters cannot post pics directly from their computer. YOU CAN however, post to a free hosting site like Photobucket, then post the IMG tag in your post. Then it will show up in the post.
