Having trouble finding the right size fenders

[lakelover]

One of my next projects will be to get my 15 year old utility trailer fixed up. The fenders on it now are 27.5L x 7W x 10H and are welded on. I'm planning on cutting off the old ones with a sawzall and replacing them with bolt-on galvanized ones. The tires are 12".

Problem is, I'm having trouble finding that size fender. Since they'll be bolted on, they can be a little shorter, and maybe an inch wider, but I'd like the height to be about the same. The way the frame is made, the need to fit between the two existing frame members that sick out.

Anyone got a good source for fenders that doesn't charge outrageous shipping? I've been looking around on the web but just thought I'd ask.

Ayuh,.... Unless ya can do cuttin', 'n weldin', yer gonna have to adapt whatever you can find, to fit...
I really, Really doubt you'll find Exact replacements, unless you go back to the OEM...

Maybe check Northern Tools or Tractor Supply, they carry lots of fenders and trailer parts.

Thanks, I've pretty much realized I'll have to cobble something in there, as long as I make it solid, should be OK.

I'm near Albany. To me, originating from a few miles south of the Canadian border, Albany is not really upstate , but...Keep 'em guessing I always say.

I found these that I think I can make work (Tie Down 86266)

Wondering if these brackets are the right ones? (Tie Down 86262) Or are they for the plastic fenders? Heavy enough for steel?

One thing I've noticed is the price difference of this stuff depending on which site you buy from. The same fenders vary from $14-32 ea., brackets from $12-25. And a lot of places are having free or reduced shipping these days.
