Rear fender to splash apron support

When was this support first used? My '14 does not have them but they would sure help to make the area more stable or firm (fewer squeaks and rattles).. lol...

If you are not talking about splash shields, I misunderstood.

What is stopping you from getting them (splash shields). I checked the 1913 and 1914 Model T photos in the MTFCA Gallery and online images and they all had splash shields. Jim Patrick

Because they did not have them on early cars the aftermarket was quick to produce a brace for sale to the public. I just bought a pair of original fenders for my '14 that had them held on with small machine screws & nuts. Question is weather you want it Henry stock, or add braces. Darryl

I'd want to prevent the fenders from cracking.
