I have 2 sets of late '13-15 nearly perfect front fenders, these are repo fenders and were on a 1914 speedster. They have been sand blasted and now in primer. I can take detailed photos of any areas you want to see. All 4 were on a speedster when it was restored. No rust no dents no wavey side trim. I will sell either 2 as a pair or all 4 . New they are $450.00 each 6-8 week waiting. I will sell for $250.00 each in pairs if you want all 4 $750.00 plus freight. I am in the Seattle area.

just sayin'

Are 16’s the same or is there a different rivet pattern?

Front fenders, 1916s are the same as 1915s. The rears are different with a change made late in calendar 1915. The 1915 rears have a three rivet bracket with the rivets in a triangle pattern for the top fender iron from the body. The 1915 fenders were not adequately steadied and began cracking the sheet steel early. Late in calendar 1915 for the 1916 model year, the top bracket has either four or two rivets showing on the top of the fender, these rivets spread farther inward and outward near the sheet metal bead. In addition to those top rivets, two visible rivets were added to the outer (whatchacallit? Lip?) and two more to the inner skirt. These wider brackets with more rivets steadied the rear fenders and greatly reduced sheet metal cracking.


Frontyboy, I saw those photos of the project on the AACA forum. Is my memory correct that one pair has the "bill" for the late 1914 through 1915 style? And the other pair has the "no bill" front lip for 1913 and much of 1914 style? Do they have the three rivet front fender brackets for 1915 and 1916? Or the earlier four rivet brackets used on 1914 and earlier Ts?
Just asking clarification so that the right person needing them for the right car can know and grab the right fenders.

No bill on either fender. They all have 4 rivets.

'13s had 4 rivets...'15/16 had 3. '15/16 had bills, whereas '13s did not as well as very early 14, after which the bill showed up.
