fender skirt brackets

[Bobby O]

Does anyone know if there is a video or some pictures of some 55 or 56's showing where the brackets for fender skirts go. Thanks.

This is from a seller on EvilBay- https://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-1956-...unting-Bracket-Hardware-Set-New-/162085135386

I am not sure whether they are OEM or aftermarket. You can E-Mail him for clarification. Please let the board know what you find out.

you also need the rubber seal when fitting.they are easier to fit if you have a friend to help.a pair or 2 of needle nose vice grips will be a huge help in holding bracket once you position it then drill holes.you may want to sign up at the 52-59 Ford social group on the H.A.M.B.someone may be able to help.measure twice drill once or you will not be happy.good luck

Is the kit shown above (brkts) FORD OEM (or repro)?

 

[54vicky]

I believe repo as I doubt nos would still be available it should work a couple of places list them

 

[KULTULZ]

I wasn't concise.

Is the kit shown (definitely aftermarket) an exact or close enough) copy of the FORD OEM BRKT KIT in your opinion? I have never personally seen a set of skirts/hardware for that early of a car. I am trying to gather info and most of this was deleted from the FORD MPC for that time period.

I was told if you buy from Tee-Bird Products. The 55,56 fender skirts and brackets are all correct oem reproductons.

I have a set of NOS brackets in a drawer somewhere. I can check to see how they compare to the ones in Kultulz post.

EDIT:
I looked at my brackets and from what I could see mine are the same except the finish is a little dull. There are two different types of screws just like the photo.

if looking at factory literature they are called fender shields.as herman said originals were less shiny mine came in a small bag with instructions long lost.I like saying lost better than I do not know where I put them.

Yes, mine are also in a small cloth bag with a paper tag. Instructions are missing.
