Abstract
A vehicle quarter fender (10) is adapted to mount to a vehicle frame (12) through a mounting rod (14) rigidly secured to the frame (12). The fender (10) comprises an arcuate panel (16), a rigidifying plate (18) and a mounting tube (19) formed integral with the plate (18). The rigidifying plate (18) is mounted to the panel (16), along substantially the full width of a bottom surface (62) thereof, such that the tube (19) is co-extensive with and extends inwardly and laterally of an inside portion (56) of the panel (16). The plate (18) provides the fender (10) with stability along longitudinal, transverse, and diagonal axes of the fender (10). The mounting tube (19) is adapted to slidably and securely engage the mounting rod (14) to mount the fender (10) to the frame (12).
