F-1 Front fender patch, ......

Started the dies for the patches, Am I seeing this correct, the R and L fenders are not the same in length......
if you measure up, say, 2 inches from the bottom, and then put a string from the tire opening and go to the 90 degree bend, are the R and L fenders the same length??
My pair are different lengths by over a quarter and inch.
How are about you, please let me know.
Thanks

Are you working on 48-50 fenders, or 51-52 fenders?

What 90-degree bend are you referring to?

I'm not aware of any difference L/R on either series.

Are you talking about the dogleg where upper and lower meet. or just the bottom front. I think a quarter of an inch can just be lack of curve or machinery differences.

I cut all that rust out and made a patch and welded it all together.
