1981 ford inner wheel liner
Got some inner wheel liners that need to be replaced or repaired. I know the fenders are rare and no one makes replacements but i was wondering if its possible to plastic weld them or if the inner wheel liners for the 87-96 ford on lmc will fit with slight modifications.

Welcome to FTE
I dont know if the 87 - 96 liners will work as I have not tried and even seen the later ones to look over.
On that I dont see why you could not plastic weld them?
What welder do you have that you will try this with?

Quite a few people are asking about wheel well liners lately. Apparently there are no replacements available. Mine are in good shape so I'm not sure what's happening to the originals?
If you have some breaks or tears in them how about putting reinforcing on the back side? I'm thinking hold cracks or tears together and use a peel and stick roll product behind the tear. This will seal and hold your liners together.
Maybe something like:

1981 Ford front fender aprons
Got some inner wheel liners (fender aprons) that need to be replaced or repaired.
I know the fenders are rare
and no one makes replacements but i was wondering if its possible to plastic weld them or if the inner wheel liners for the 87-96 ford on lmc will fit with slight modifications.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
------------------------------------------------------
The fenders are the same 1980/86 F100/350 (F250/350 diesel makes no difference) & Bronco and are probably easier to find used than the aprons, as the aprons can get torn up.
If you live in the east or the rust belt, good used fenders are hard to find. But if you live in the south or in the desert southwest, the fenders aren't rusty because salt isn't used on the roads.

My passenger side liner was demolished when the tire blew out. I bought a set from LMC but that side was not a match.

Call them and ask why, because 1980/86 F100/350 with gas engines use the same aprons. 1983/86 F250/350 with the 6.9L diesel is different.

I found one off a wrecked truck and could probably pull measurements for you.

I would make a wooden mold , heat the plastic and bend it over, trim the excess after it cured . Not a simple process but if there was enough call for it , it would be a possibility. imI sure I would have a huge junk pile of trial runs.
