Does anyone know if there is a difference in a 1930 and a 1930 front fender brace? If so, what makes up the difference?
As always, thanks all...
-
No, a 1930 front fender brace and a 1930 front fender brace are identical................I'm sorry Munch, I couldn't resist. ::)
I'm not sure if this helps. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Chevy-All-Models-Front-Fender-Well-Bracket-Brace-Pair-1930-1932/351348525916?hash=item51ce010b5c:g:QPkAAOSwBahVDX9e
I found that rear fender braces and running board braces are interchangeable from 1930 to 1932, no luck on front braces.
-
Thanks Chopper, I meant 1930 and 1931. Sometimes I'm a few pickles short of a barrel.
;D
-
I have a pair of these for my 32, I wasn't sure where they went exactly please explain the purpose
-
question, are we trying to figure out if your looking for : FENDER ** WELL ** BRACES or front fender braces that sit under the head light mounts. ?????

the picture Chopper posted was well brackets correct?
-
yes, they mount too the frame and go over to the fender well and bolts are run thru. If running a factory original frame the holes should be there. I had a pair of those 30--32 but much to narrow for 34-35 standard frame.
Got lucky on ebay in November and got the correct 34-35 dual sidemount parts with locks.

I am referring to the brace that sits under the front fender and the headlight bar bolts through from the top. Similar to the picture of the Ford brace, but with a triangular plate on top with three holes for the headlight bar mounting.
-
according to the parts book, 1929-1930 fender braces are the same. 1931-1932 use a different brace. Like the Fender braces you have pictured.

Thanks Mike...

Now I just have to find them. I got one for the passenger side that is in pretty good shape, but I need on for the driver's side.
62131 do you not run with them on your car?

Munch, if you're not already aware of it, try: searchtempest.com You can search, virtually craigslist nation-wide with just a few clicks.

I was not, thanks Chopper...

You are talking about the ones chopper posted a picture of? Not at this time, I knew they went under the front fenders and I assumed they were only used on cars with the spare tire wells in the fenders to support the weight of the spare. I replaced my fenders with fiberglass ones. If they need to be there to support the fenders I guess ill have to figure out how they mount.

I don't have them on my 34 coupe...it has thick fiberglass fenders. The fiberglass fenders on my 33 coupe are thin...so I'm going to laminate some braces into the fenders.

My fenders are steel, but I suppose I could do the same thing assuming the arch on both are the same.
-
I would think fabricating a set of arched braces on steel fenders would be easy since you have the outside rivet holes? I'm afraid that if I tried to rivet a brace to the fiberglass it would just crack....so I'll laminate the brace.

Thanks

Thanks guys, I made an offer.
Obviously the offer you made was not what seller was willing to accept. I just checked and they went unsold. So far he has not re-listed them.

Yes Mike I saw that. I would have thought I would have least gotten a "No thanks".
-
you might have bruised his ego with your offer, some sellers are very sensitive..............lmao
mike
-
He may never seen your offer either, send it again with a receipt request and see if he responds :o
-
just went to the ebay listing, he is not looking for offers, which is why he would not respond.
Your going to have to wait until item doesn't sell 3-5 times and see if he lowers price. Or step up and buy the pair at his price ?
