you might think that, but when considering that the 11"s wheels have a 45mm offset, it's negligible.

think how many HPH and Sheridan flared 914's you've seen.....

they are ALL running their rubber out to the full width of the fenders.
i'm no different.

the offset and spacer combos may be different on the flared 914's, but the wider the wheel, the less leverage is placed on the bearing.

true.

but in the spirit of trying to keep the front and rear widths closer rather than farther apart i thought it prudent.

when leo imperial and i did his fenders he had one of those hydraulic expando thingies. and just like it happens sometimes, harbor freight has them on sale this week so the front fenders will get a little widening the same we we did his.

i just love the look of tires/wheels that come right out to the inner fenders without touching.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

if i make it to the breakfast next weekend and you happen to see a FG fender laying in the street, it'll probably be mine. as i have ZERO body experience.

wish me luck. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

If you want em extra strong, and you dont trust your fiberglass work.

Do everything you were originally going to do.. but when it comes time to haveing everything glued down, make sure you have your holed pre drilled (obviously), and grind down the fiberglass on the hole for room for pop rivits to be countersunk.

Pop rivets themselfts are plenty to hold it, and glue is also plenty to hold it, doing both, your just peachy.

Also this will help so that when the glue is set Instead of undrilling your screws (and having your glue around the screws crack (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) ) you just ruff up the rivets and apply resin/fiberglass/bondo/kittyhair (your choice.. I did all in different area's)

Your were I was 2 months ago... But I figured it out finally on the last fender (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

GL dude.

When hacking away at fenders, think radiused corners.
.......just my .02 of course. There's still extra metal there.

Don't leave the rivets in after the flares are bonded. They will expand and contract at different rates than the glass and read through the finish. Grind the unside of the steel Quarter panel and grind the inside of the flare and glas the inside as well as the outside. My flares have been bonded for over 10 years without a crack.

edit; are you installing them like JP's? If so, disregard my post. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

JP, yes, asthetics are me weak point but im' sure radiusing probably helps reduce stress cracks also. good idea. I'll do it.


rick, i was planning on just bonding the fenders to the steel.

then temporarily using self tapping screws to hold the FG fenders tight to the steel until the adhesive cures.

i like the idea of making holes and having the adhesive actually reaching thru the steel to "anchor" from the back side.


i'll definately do that.

is that what you meant?
