I have a set of Wald aluminum fenders that I want to install on my 27" Panasonic resto. The problems are these:
I cannot use the Wald braces because they are all too long, and ugly as sin.
I cannot use Honjo fender stays because there isn't enough clearance for the bolts with the tires I'm using.
I cannot mount a bracket to the front brake bolts because of how I had to retrofit a set of Tektros in there.
From pictures, it looks like some SKS fender stays might work. The ones I am looking at grasp the edges of the fenders and do not utilize bolts through the top of the fender. Do such fender stays exist? From whom would I be able to buy them?
Thoughts are always appreciated.
Btw, yes I know I could buy a new set of fenders with stays that my bike would accommodate, but this is a budget project and I really like the Wald fenders...better quality than the VOs and Honjos, in my opinion.
