Assuming a row crop, the bolt up replacement would be 44 Special fenders, which have the double slot lower mount, and lamp cable races. To retro any other, will require adding flat stock, welding, drilling more holes. Not a nice
fit,if you are planning restoration of this classic. Though the Triple3 &4 fenders appear
identical, they are NOT. The 'flat stock' fender
frame sits one inch higher(T.Y., Mr.R.).This causes conflict trying to secure the OP station
treaded foot platforms. Alignment of numerous
bolt holes, leads to compromise original design.
The rachet lock for the brake demands design
update. Better to avoid the 'looks like' Triple
fenders. Consider fixing your fenders, cut out
rot, get some sheet metal. Take to a auto body shop, they may weld the sheet metal, grind, you
do detail finish. A pair of no-rot fenders can
cost a quick hundred dollars. Are yours beyond repair? Shipping is the bigger issue, on old
iron parts. How much do you want to invest in
leaving your present fenders, at the scrap yard?
