Any welders wanna make $100.00 plus shipping. I need a pair of unpainted fenders for an original 1982 Correct Craft trailer. I think many Correct craft trailers around that time can be used as a template. The fenders in my diary were some I made from sheet metal & they fell apart in the wind on a trip.Please, somebody that welds copt their fenders. Thanks , Dan

Dans, I hate to tell you but I think your $100 offer is low! There is more work than you think. The blank needs to be measured, sheared and knotched which is the easy part but then the press break needs to be set up 3 times for the bends. Finally you have the welding and grinding. I'd estimate 3 to 4 man hours plus material. Have you checked with a local fab shop?
If you have a shop fab them for you, have them make them out of electro-galv steel. They will last longer and unlike straight galvanized, the primer will stick to the electro. |

Dans, Sorry but I don't have personal access to the equipment here at work. Try a fab shop in your area.

Dan did you find some one to make the fenders yet? I have made a set out of stainless.

There's a sheet metal shop in Leominster, MA that made a nice fender for Keith.
They do great work and are very reasonable. Brideau Sheet Metal |

Thanks for the replies. I found some round metal ones on Ebay & painted them to match my trailer.
