WTB - Fender bracket speedster headlight mounts for fender-less speedster

Most use cut off fender brackets, what mounting style…? Early D shaped mount for gas headlight forks? Black car era V notch?

[Tom Stephens]

Whoops, thanks for clarification

'25 speedster, so yes, the later style. I've seen the cut-off '26-'27 fender irons

[Kevin Pharis]

I’ll see what I have layin around

[Tom Stephens]

Great, that will work!!

You might want to match your headlight post's threaded end to the fender iron mount hole for it (no assumptions) .
In addition the 22-25 stop is slight taper

Great info!! I am picking up my headlight buckets on October 7th, so will inspect then and report back on the 8th.

My buckets...

Funny, looks like I have one '15 - '17 and one '22 - '25. How will they both fit the cut-off '26-'27 fender irons?

[Layden Butler]

Neither one will fit '26-27 fender brackets. Those later Model Ts have a completely different method of mounting the fender to the frame and the headlights mount to the fenders.

Can you post a picture of the front corner ( either side) of your frame so we can see what you are working with?

You are correct but Tom made an improper reference as having seen "cut-off '26-'27 fender irons". Tom is building a fenderless speedster so 26-27 irons & fenders are out of scope.

Given what irons he has. Just needs to buy one of each fender iron.. Its a speedster so the mismatch doesn't matter. Or its what a speedster is about, making one from available parts!

It is also possible to make one of headlight posts fit the other style fender iron with a bit of effort
