1970 71 72 inner fender braces advertised on ebay..anyone ever use these? Thoughts?https://www.ebay.com/itm/133396219070

 

I'm pretty sure, Dave (72455) used those. You can ask him.

 

I reached out to him, haven’t heard back yet..they look good in the pics..surely someone ha# used them..

 

I don’t think those have been available until recently. There’s been a few threads about the need for these.

 

I can’t recall (and I’m outdoors currently), but when I researched these brackets they appear in the Assembly Manual and illustrate how they are fastened with a brief insert of the template - I’m recalling from memory. If you have the Assembly Manual you might take a look. I’d help you out more but I’m not at my computer.

 

Thats what I thought as well, thinking of giving it a whirl to repair my lower fenders..

 

A good option, but man they are proud of them!

 

yea they are, just no options other than repop full fenders..

 

This is the first time I’ve seen those . That lower brace is almost always rotted along with the fender . Most guys have to get creative and rebuild the brace including myself . I wish they were available when I did mine .

 

I didn't use these..what I installed on my '72 U code Supreme were the torque braces that bolt to the torque boxes on the chassis and run up behind the inner fender well then bolt up to the fenders just ahead of the hood hinge.

Dave - OK Thanks for getting back. I wasn’t certain.
