Vurge 158 #1 Posted September 8, 2020 I'm currently trying to fabricate a belt guard and have minor clearance issues with these two angled metal pieces coming off the front the fender. I'm sorry for the bad picture. The lighting was all wrong this morning. I don't see what the purpose of these two pieces. I'd like to cut them off....

Pullstart 62,791 #2 Posted September 8, 2020 I have a feeling they are bent just past 90 degrees as a guide to close correctly over the tunnel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,665 #4 Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Rubber grommets fit in them to keep them from scratching the hood stand. WH #5667 Edited September 8, 2020 by pfrederi 1 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,981 #5 Posted September 8, 2020 They also eliminate any noise from the fender vibrating against the hood stand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadapples 6,983 #6 Posted September 8, 2020 Glen had them. I think they're the same as the ones under front of the hood... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vurge 158 #7 Posted September 9, 2020 Thank you all for the help. I had some rubber wire grommets that fit. They've got a hole in the middle for wires, but still work great as bumpers. Man, I was getting annoyed at the way those tabs were scuffing the paint. Now it all makes sense. 😂 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
