Fat Fender Braces?
Do fiberglass 3" wider fat fenders need braces? How do they attach? Do I fab up off the stock ones? Plus drilling the bed side holes?

I have the same fenders and bought the brackets and braces. Diane at Mid fifty told me she had a customer that did not use the braces and did not attach the bracket and cracked the fiberglass fender. So I would use them. You will need to fiberglass them or maybe someone else has a better idea? Not sure if adhesive would work. Metal on fiberglass?
