I am adding front fender ornaments on my 1949 Hudson Super Six. These are the chrome spears that sit on top of the front fenders. I am seeking help in correctly locating these on the fender tops since my fenders don't currently have the ornament mounting holes. The dimensions I need are shown in the attached photos and listed below.
Dimensions A, B, and C are measurements for a mounted ornament:
[list]
[*]Dimension A - Distance from the front edge of the fender to the front edge of the spear
[*]Dimension B - Perpendicular distance from the fender mounting edge to the spear centerline at the very front edge of the spear
[*]Dimension C - Perpendicular distance from the fender mounting edge to the spear centerline at the very rear edge of the spear
[/list]
Dimensions D, E, and F are measurements for an unmounted ornament
[list]
[*]Dimension D - Distance from the front edge of the fender the the front mounting hole
[*]Dimension E - Perpendicular distance from the fender mounting edge to the front mounting hole
[*]Dimension F - Perpendicular distance from the fender mounting edge to the rear mounting hole
[*]Front and rear hole dimensions
[/list]
I really appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!
I am renewing this forum topic to see if anyone has any input on the location of the front fender top spears on a 48-49 Hudson. If you have a car with these ornaments or a fender with the the mounting holes and you are within a couple hundred miles of Rochester, NY, I'd be happy to come to you and make the measurements. I believe this style ornament was only used on 48-49. Any help is very much appreciated!
Gary, this forum doesn't get a lot of attention. Did you try looking through the roster? Probably get a quicker answer if you find somebody near you and call them.
Hi Steve,
I appreciate the response. Your suggestion is exactly what I did recently and got the information I needed. Our fellow Hudson owner was very accommodating and helpful. Thank you!
Gary
