Re: VEP GPW fenders
GPW 8053 both fenders have serration marks and reinforcements, passenger side has deep F mark, driver side maybe shallow if there.

Re: VEP GPW fenders
Michael,
Here is something you can check, I don't think I remember seeing one like this in person, but it is pretty small and easy to miss. It's 7 posts from the bottom of the page; a small script 'F' on Zeph's driverside fender. Inside, just behind the lower grill to fender bolt hole.

Re: VEP GPW fenders
Thank you for providing a thread with these photos. Steve Ellis also suggested that I search this area for an F. Now that the weather here is beginning to warm up I will get back out to my garage to check GPW 2647’s fenders.

Re: VEP GPW fenders
Owners with tombstone added- Is there the big 7/8” hole for the wire to exit like the later factory style? Thanks.

Re: VEP GPW fenders
Yes inner panel. I’m finding the retrofit fenders we’re close to the same as the factory style

Re: VEP GPW fenders
No.....GPW-17963 had a small hole punched in the inner fender wall for the retro-fitted BOL.

Re: VEP GPW fenders
My Oct 7 Dallas GPW (70778) has tombstone guard with 7/16” hole on top (looks possibly punched) and a 7/8“ exit hole. Denifitely not a factory install.

Re: VEP GPW fenders
I don’t understand what you mean by « retrofit fender »?
There were just early undrilled fenders, eventually hand drilled « as convenient », or factory drilled later fenders
