I needed the tabs to contour the rib in the fender. 
I heated the tab up and bent it around a piece of round stock. 
It worked out so the raised part of the tab was able to be welded to the frame. 
I bent additional tabs and tapped and welded them to the inside of the fender. 
This is where I was able to weld to the frame. 
Starting the fender strut. 
I set it up in the vise so I could bend the tab around the round stock. 
I welded only the back side leaving the front clean. 
I bent some flat strap to the shape of the fender. This is where the strut will bolt to the fender. 
Meeting the strut ends to the fender mout. 
I added some extra weld then ground it down for a nice finish. 
Final fender mounted. 
Custom mounting of a Wassell style rear fender and making a custom fender strut. I found this Fender on the TC Bros web site. Joe, the owner of the bike, like it so I needed to get it mounted. The original fender was a flat fender which didn’t look bad but the ribbed fender really matches the BSA gas tank. Also the Wassell style fender is not as wide as the flat fender was, so it contours the tire better for a tighter cleaner look. Making the front mounting tabs I matched the ribbing of the fender. I backed the fender with tabs that I drilled and tapped for easy removal and installation of the fender. I made a strut for the back portion of the fender. I bent, drilled, and tapped flat strap to mount to the fender. Then I used 3/16″ solid round stock to join the fender to the frame of the bike. I bent tabs around the stock for a clean simple look.
