Wheel Pant Brackets - 1946 11AC

I am restoring a 1946 11AC and have wheel pants but no brackets. Does anyone have an idea of where I could get some? I have checked e-bay and found nothing.

Mark,

You might end up having to make them but do not believe that they would be that difficult.

I have some that I am sending with the Chief that I just sold. If I can get a couple of photos of them for you will send them along.

Mark,

Will see what I can do for you. I had the same problem so know what you are working with.

Mark,

How about this?

The tubes slide inside the axle and the other brackets bolt to the brake side of the landing gear. You then mount the wheel pant to the wheel side first (I believe) then bolt the outer side into the other mount.

Are you cooking those thing on the oven? Looks like a burner at the top of your photo table.

Oops... got caught!

Yep, the oven was where these pics were taken!
