Attaching the fenders???

Postby benzu » Wed Jul 02, 2008 5:15 pm

I'm getting more and more frustrated with this TD build. :x I'm trying to put the fenders on and I'm using a method I saw on another TD by using 1 1/2" angle iron welded to the frame and attaching the fender with carriage bolts to the angle iron. Seems like a good idea, but have had one issue of centering so the project has been halted at least for today. :x

I know I could through bolt them to the wall or have AVK bolts for attachment points.

I want to keep with the angle iron attachment so does anyone have pictures of this method so I can see how they did it.

thanks,

Mike

I know the fender attachment you speak of, but I don't have any photos handy.

Mike...

Benzu dont get frustrated. As Mike said you are so close..with a very nicely built tear.

Ive had my share of up and downs with our build too with EU Regulations and Laws and Our very own. But still going at it and overcoming major problems.

Hang in there buddy. Your doing great. :applause:
