jan arnett (2) 191 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I need the old fashion oblong fender washers used to mount rear fenders on cars from the twenties-thirties for my 1923 Moon. Link to post Share on other sites
JFranklin 570 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Can you put round ones on a grinding wheel and form them to your wants? Link to post Share on other sites

JACK M 2,281 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I have seen the oblong holes in the fenders but cant say I have seen oblong washers. But I've never worked on a Moon. Link to post Share on other sites
jan arnett (2) 191 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Thank you for your suggestions. The Moon when I got it had carriage bolts which is wrong. You need to think real old school to understand my problem. Back in the twenties fenders didn't always line up so they created a fender washer to allow some slop. What you have to day is not a 1920 fender washer. Here is a picture of an early chev. fender washer.that is a little small but will give you an idea of what I am looking for. https://www.fillingstation.com/shop/?year=All&vehtype=All&search=fender+washer&searchtype=FT Thanks Jan Link to post Share on other sites
jpage 416 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 You could make something like that yourself. Pick up some steel form a steel supplier, cut them out with a grinder and form them on a bench grinder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes if you are in this hobby you need to learn how to fabricate parts or repurpose parts from other applications. Some even have to make their own gears and other hard to find parts.

jpage 416 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) There ya' go! Every fender washer one could ever want. Didn't even know that they made oblong ones! Edited May 2, 2020 by jpage (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
gossp 510 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I believe what he is looking for has a pressed dish to the middle of the oblong washer. Years ago We had hundreds in our parts stash but I think all are long gone. Link to post Share on other sites
JFranklin 570 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) A bit of die making and a large press and he is in business! Edited May 2, 2020 by JFranklin (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

A 10 ton hydraulic jack would be enough. Cheap 20 ton presses are common. Harbor Freight.... $189.99....Bob Link to post Share on other sites
