I'm trying to change out the fenders on my 3" square tube trailer with 13" wheels and have had problems finding a way to mount them because my spring mounts are in the way. I ordered a set of bigger fenders that would clear the mounts but they look ridiculous and hit the boat unless I lower them a couple inches below the trailer frame.
Plan B is to order smaller fenders for 12" wheels, but again because of the spring mounts none of the stock mounts will fit.
I found some 1/8" steel plates that are 4" wide by 12" long. If I either bend them to 90 degrees or cut them and have them welded into L brackets would 1 on each side of the fender (bolted to the frame) be strong enough for standing on or will they just straighten out over time?
