what is it?

Guys,


Done with tear down and painting of frame, but on the 48 passenger front there was this destroyed clip/mount piece bolted on. What is it? for? where can I get one?


Thanks

I'd bet it's what's left of the "dogleg" on the bottom of the inner fender.

I think Ross is right

Looks like a bracket for the inner fender attachment. That mount used to have a spring attachment to allow for flex in the frame and inner fender. I couldn't find one when I did my build so eliminated it. I think most inner fenders are cracked there as it receives a lot of stress.
