Interesting differences in these parts. It’s a shame there is not more photographic evidence to look over for these kinds of details.

One of the projects I’ve been putting off for a while is that of the fenders. They still needed some minor attention to get the ready for painting. I was fortunate that one of the original fenders still had the d flap retaining strap and some canvas mounted. I had to make one mirrored copy for the left front fender. Thankfully Hamilton Bridge seemed to use standard size metal bars. Also thankful in that I had a long piece of the same size in my metal pile. In the past I would have marked out, centre punched and drilled each hole. However I figured I’d use my punch press. It was then pretty easy to line up the original abd clamp it to my new part. Then it I just punched away.

One last comment, I love how dark green the canvas is.
