Does anyone have any rear fender measurements so I can compare? Or does this seem right?

Judging by the beat up ones I have those measurements correspond with mine..

I thought it would be even but maybe not? This measurement is on the good one of the two so I'm basing the other one if this one.

Can anyone with new fenders confirm?

The fenders were narrower in the back

Ok thanks. Best $100 I've spent so far then

At least you were lucky enough to find some, I've had no luck and will be ordering new ones fairly soon.

That was plan B. I will be ordering new front ones for sure.

They are about $600 now purchased on this side of the border, maybe more now...

Geeezzzzz. Wonder if I can find a set that needs work but isn't too badly damaged.

56panelford 02-28-2016 07:58 PM

That's why I used two sets to make mine.

Had to put one of the racecar rims there to see what it looked like.
