Bike fender brackets

[Chris Wingardh]

Anybody got a picture of the bike fender mounting bracket? I will be using these on my 35 truck build, getting the fenders somewhere else so I need to know what the brackets look like.

Have a great-full Memorial weekend.

I see nobody has responded so here's a photo of a front fender bracket. They're cut from 1/2" thick lead, OK steel but they weigh as much as a boat anchor. I made my own out of 4130N tubing that are at least 1,000 lbs lighter.

BTW, I didn't install my fender brackets like FFR directs as it would have been a huge hassle to pull them off to run fenderless or to touch-up paint chips. Instead, I installed the shorter cap screws like you would when not running bike fenders. But instead of using a typical nut, I used a high strength threaded couplings. Then I threaded studs into the couplers and mounted the fender brackets with lock nuts. I don't recall the thread size but here's what a threaded coupler looks like: https://www.mcmaster.com/threaded-couplings/extreme-strength-steel-coupling-nuts/

Thanks NAZ, very helpful. I am not using FFR bike fenders, I am using steel for MC actually 3 of them, the third will be cut in 1/2 and added to the main ones creating a 120-130 deg radius fender, The FFR brackets were not too expensive so I will see how I can mate it together. Thanks and have a safe and greatful Memorial day.

Did the same thing, used a rear fender off a Harley but cut it in half and made bike fenders like the Milner Coupe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOgqUHk-zDY&t=3s

Minimalist, just so NHRA won't categorize my car as an altered. My chassis cert is due so if I can't slide by with the bike fenders I'll have to hang those big heavy full fenders on the car.

Well got the FFR bike fenders afterall. The fender brackets limit the steering radious as they catch on the control arms before the stop. Anyone got a splution for this?

TIA,
