Bob,
A few months back you were placing rear fenders on a 41-46 and looking for
the bolt placements.  Did you ever find the correct location and placement?
Can you share you results with the group.

Thanks,
NHJim

the repro fenders are no thicker than 19 gauge, and weight 2 pounds less
than
a GM fender.  they are well made with corect bends, curves and
reinforcements, but they are just very thin.  I was not impressed.  I spoke
to Jim carter about this, and he said the chinese frequently use thin metal
to save their dies.  I also believe they are thinner than 19ga, as the metal
is most likely metric spec.  I wrote down numbers in preparation for an
article about them.
