Am looking for ideas on some form of fender to run on a open wheel A during the winter months.Don't want to run them in the summer,so would like something easy on and off.Any pics or ideas appreciated.Roger
When the fender law took effect in California a lot of rodders started running "bobbed" stockers in back. Up front they used sections of "Continental" style spare tire covers. Mounts were made out of 1/4" flat stock welded to the brake backing plates. Some had tabs on the backing plates and bolted the brackets on. Vibration was a big issue.
Florida had same rule in early 60's and I had some bobbed contintal kit rings for both front and back,I hated them and run them only part of the time,and on and off deel. I made bolts coming out of my brake backing plates with a nut to hole them,then a wing nut was to hole bracket for bobber fender,the fender brakets were not flat stock on mine,but 5/8in.tubing and was flaten a little at the bolts on backing plate and at bend under the fender// fender was held by panheads taped into the tube.
Hey Guys thanks for the input,exactly what I was looking for.Figured there also had to be another link but hadn't considered the cycle fenders.
