Well, I decided to take the "easy" route and I bought two brand new fender skins for my 2N. Ordered them Monday, got here yesterday, AWESOME shipping!
This morning I unpack them and they look great. These are the kind that have to have the holes drilled in them and painted, so I laid one of them out on the floor in the shop and I drilled holes exactly where they should be for the lower half of the bracket.
I bolted the lower half of the bracket to the fender, and then test fitted on the tractor, they looked great.
THEN the $hit hit the fan, I grabbed the second half, the top piece of the bracket. I set it on the holes of the lower bracket just like it should go, and it sticks out the top of the fender about 1/2 an inch!!!!
I was mesmerized for a minute, and then decided to measure and sure as he!! the old fenders are about 3/4's of an inch longer than the new ones, and my brackets don't fit inside the new ones!!!
Sooo, I am going to have to cut MY fender brackets down to accommodate these new "exact reproduction fenders" .... B S ....

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
