Default Fender Deletes to Fenders with support bracket

So i chopped the fender support bracket when i was doing my fender deletes a few years ago and now i purchased fenders and need the fender support bracket back. Are there any bolt on options available or a modification i can do to re-add a fender support bracket? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Did you chunk yours after cutting them off? I cut mine off as well when doing deletes, but I've been saving them for years just in case I ever went back. There's nothing that I know of that exists as an aftermarket option. If could weld, it wouldn't be terribly hard to fab something up....more time than anything to get things lined up more than material cost.

Yeah i was hoping to find an easier solution as i dont have access to a welder. I did throw them out. Perhaps i can fab something bolt on in the general area.

Well i found these part numbers.

55395350AC - Right Fender Closure
55395351AC - Left Fender Closure

I believe these are which have the brackets attached. Only if i can source this at a yard somewhere cheap.

The prices...smh. I bet that is going to be harder to source than you think, but I could be wrong. What kind of fenders are you installing, metal or plastic? I bet even paying someone a bit to fab one up wouldn't cost much. If installing metal fenders, just for looks or something that is really going to take abuse?
