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-co...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.
