Fender Brace
John, if you already have one, make a second one off it using yours as a chinese blueprint of sorts. It probably doesnt need to be solid rod. Get small diameter steel tubing, flatten the ends on an anvil with a hammer, and cut slots in it, and round the ends. Or use solid steel rod and weld flat ends on it with slots cut in them. A nice quick little project on the weekend. I make lots of the simpler stuff for these cars. I have made some pretty hard pieces. The part you have is really easy to make. This in pix is the one of the hardest things I ever fabbed. A factory correct RH bracket for factory dual exhaust. They repop these now for about $40. Hope my pix give you some fabrication ideas. Bracket was stamped as 1 piece, I could not duplicate it that way, so I made it as a 3 piece that appears like oem.
