Reply to "Group 4 Steel Flare Help Requested"

Ron,

Thanks for the words of encourgement, and I know you are vastly more skilled than I am at metal work, and if you're having the same issues then I dont feel quite so bad.

I'm already there with the ripping off and working from stratch of modifying something else. I think Rick used Bug fenders for his (dont quote me), and I've been parusing the internet for motorcyle fender blanks to see if I can use one for the fender lip since I dont have access to all the tools I wish I did, so I tend to frankenstien my stuff to save time/effort. If I can't find something to graft it's gonna be a fun weekend with the stretcher and dolly.

Thats interesting about the wheel studs, Ive got the 2" studs as well and with the .750" spacers, I'm down to about 6 threads. Surprised you got the 1" spacers to fit.

David,
Your right on the bump stops, it would save the flare and I haven't thought of that. I still want to get this working the right way, but with that said I'm thinking bump stops will be incorporated so that one nasty pot hole doesnt mess up any flares. So thanks for the suggestion.

Dave
