Technical Fenderless Front turning fenders

Does anyone have a pic of how they fabbed their front fenders? I am not talking frame rail fenders, but the type bolted to the spindle that turn with the wheel (cycle) .
Any pic and build suggestions?

On both my T bucket and Hiboy I bolted the brackets to two bolts through the spindles.

 

Awesome Pics. Thank you, much, Bucket. I was thinking about ordering a set of 1/4 inch plate steel spindle arms to make matching the back of the spindle bolt pattern an easier process - then just weld a set skeleton for the fender to sit on from there.

 

Something like below to start with

I would surgest looking in to bike fenders, depending on wheel/car/era.



Fenders and nerf bars really sets the era. Do the bracket like posted above, and run bike fenders.
I love bike fenders on rods!

 

How many of these threads do we really need ???

A lot of guys use sections of spare tire covers as fenders. I believe this one is for a 1936 Ford.

 

Thanks Volvo, that first black and white pic is awesome. Love the speedster grill on that roadster. Bike fenders are the way to go, I agree.

 

Smart, smart. This is why I love the Hamb!

 

I guess one more.

 

Looking under "vintage spare tire cover" on Ebay is where I found the one I posted. I have seen quite a few on there. I may even have one or two around here. I will check if you are interested.

 

The blue coupe and the white roadster appear to have the spare tire cover fenders I mentioned.

 

Thanks 31! Hey, my pickup is a 31 Chrysler. You got any pics or your Dodge. I am sure that they are very sim.
Fact is, I fabbed the rear section of my cab onto a sedan that was stuck and rotted in the mud on a farm, so I know the rear of my truck does not look stock; but I am curious to see what your ride looks like.
Secondly, I would love to take you up on the spare rings, but all of my money is going into getting this thing drivable for the final Bear Mountain Car Show up by West Point this summer. With such, fenders are not a "must" have to get her on the road.

Thanks you for all the information, however; the photos have certainly helped me to better understand how they look and work.

quick search turned up these http://www.stokershotrodfactory.com/product/motorcycle-hot-rod-fenders/ Not a wide center strip like '36 or fibergl*** ones from Rhode Island Roadsters but their site seems to have gone away

 

I have an OT with them. They're very cool.

 

How about a picture of your car?

 

Another thing to use for fenders is a spare tire ring cover off a van. I think most of them that hang on the rear door are made out of stainless, alittle flatter on top but work for the wider tires.

 

In my profile there are a bunch of old pics, but nothing that shows all the recent work I have been doing. Click on my icon and go to photos

Those two links look like trailer fenders.
It wouldn't be hard to get a sheettmetal place to roll some nicer ones up.

I run 36 Ford lookalike ones on the front of my Hudson.
Much the same braketry as Bucketmouths example.

They are fun to watch shaking about, I've broken both sides at least three times each, going fast across railroad tracks and pot holes.

 

Most of the trailer fenders are ugly and way too heavy.
That contributes a lot to the breakage of the mounts.
I got mine from a fellow who makes them in the UK, Mark Bull. jackie.bull@btinternet.com
They are really lightweight and I widened them to suit my needs.

I'm building my mounts using used bicycle forks as the material.

the blue coupe belongs to @AVater here on the hamb and they are spare tire covers. he did a nice job mounting them.
who are those su****ious looking characters checking out his car?

 

The 1931 Chrysler CM6 and the 1931 Dodge Brothers DH6 are very similar in a lot of ways. My cars are stock....at the moment. I have had the primer red one since I was 15 (my first car) and the blue one for about 10 years.....so sorry about the duplicate photo.

 

These look very nice tucked in close to the tire like that, but if you ever have a flat going down the road you might be having the fender for lunch.

 

Absolutely beautiful! Those are def the look.

 

Another thing I found out when making brackets is make sure the tyres are fully inflated. Tyres grow under acceleration and will touch or even grab the brackets. Also make sure the bolts/screws holding the guards to the brackets don't protrude or else than can mark the tyre. How do I know

I saw this little speedster at a swapmeet today
The cycle fenders looked real good on it.



I don't think they would slow down much road debris though.

 

Man! Those things must be so much fun to truck around in.
