    Hi gent's

    As some of you might know, i'm looking for some fender skirt brackets, but apparently they are impossible to find.

    So now I have a request to you out there:pray:, Is it possible to get some pictures and measurements for the brackets so i can make them myself:TU:

    The actual skirts are different, but the hangers may be the same. I actually am cutting up a 73 electra skirt so I'm becoming fairly familiar with the hangers. Which part do you need, the fender parts or the skirt parts?

    I can snap some pics to show you what they are. Not cutting up any fenders though so you'll have to get them from Gary if you think they will work.

    Tanks mate, but i don't think that it is necessary to cut the fender?

    The bracket I have seen so fare has been bolt on type, but I might be wrong :Dou:

    Brgds, for my '67 Wildcat and Electra, there were three points that were important to the skirt. In the front of the wheel there was a bolt-on bracket that had a hole in it which received a long stud/shaft/rod from the skirt. On the rear, the stud/shaft/rod was welded to the body. On the body near the center of the wheel was a flange/shelf for the latching mechanism to grip/grab the body of the car to keep the skirt in place.

    I am sorry for all the / / / but I don't speak Danish, so I'm trying to use English words if it helps.

    Is the front bolt-on bracket with the hole the part you need? I will look in my old parts collection, I do not think I have the brackets, but my reply here is my hope of helping others understand what you need if you can explain it more.
