Question:

In your questions that you have previously answered you say to use the L bracket PF775X21W, I bought them and they do not fit. The center to center hole is 3-1/2inch for the bracket as you state in the video I just watched. The center to center hole in the fender is 2-1/2! You say you have brackets that may fit! Will the smith bracket CE26065PGA fit?

Expert Reply:

There was a time when the bracket options were limited. Bracket set # PF775-BKT-2 has 4 holes on the short leg. From the center of the first to the center of the 4th is 2-5/8 inches.

CE Smith bracket set # CE26098G-2 has holes spaced 2-3/8 inches apart on center. For either set the holes are 1/8 inch off from 2-1/2 inches so it is possible that some slight modification (enlarging the holes) could be required.
