Raul Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hello. I have a 1950 Plymouth business coupe deluxe P19. I want to know if there's a rubber, support, stud or bracket that join the front fender and the inner shield at the bottom. Or the inner shield and the body. Just to avoid movement. The previous owner doesn't know. Thanks Raul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfour Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yep, here's a pic from my 1950 2 door showing the brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I can see also a hole on the inner shield. Heading to the body. Maybe a missing stud there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yes there is a support but the one on my '51 business coupe looks different than the one shown. Middle hole in the bottom of the fender is for the front of the rocker trim. Right hand hole should have a stud that screws into the body, comes through the fender and then uses a washer and nut to hold the bottom of the fender in place.

darkfour Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Does this help? If you need anymore pics let me know and I'll see what I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Cool! I need two of those for my 47 DeSoto. It looks like something I can make from flattening each end of a chunk of EMT in a vise. I used a turnbuckle to pull one of my fenders in line. I'll make one of these the right length and substitute it for the turnbuckle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks a lot. Now I have an idea to build a brace. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packratc Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have a P19 and another '50 2dr. Neither has this brace. My 4dr prts car was too far gone to show any remainder of such. Should all '50 Plymouths have this brace? Thanks, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Maybe a fender brace was an optional delete item, depending on production vicissitudes, like hood braces. They put them in if they felt like it, if the line wasn't too rushed, and if the supply was not interrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Maybe the parts runner let the bin get a little to low for the assembly line flow. Or Chrysler was famous for here use these till they run out, and let's us know when they are gone, we will order replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ194950 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Both my P-19 and P-20 have front fender braces. I had all the P-19 front parts off the car and blasted,painted etc. but was several years between disassembly and put back together. Took several months of of/on looking to figure out where those two parts belonged. Maybe others in the past decided it was not really important when repairs were done, or never figured where they belong and just set aside and lost?
