Vintage 250R Race Fenders - Pics

[xman2rman]

Just thought I'd post up a little eye candy. Anybody got a set like these or know who made them? They have a few cracks, someone tried to do a poor reair on. I plan on restoring these one day and putting a Mrs. Mosh seat on then.

SRP = sundahl racing products . Nice score !!!!

[Mosh]

Those are cool. I would never expect someone to cough up the massive finances for it, but those would be awesome to have molds made and re-poped. But the cost would be well into the thousands.

Wow... Sundahl huh? I got these a few years back when I bought out an old racer. I got two complete R's and one in the middle of restoration. I almost missed them too, right before I left, I noticed a little red sticking up from some boxes. I aked if they were for the R and he said "yea, just some old busted up fenders, you can have them if you want." Here is a few more pics...

SRP...whew, those are very NICE! Man, if you can figure out how to re-pop those and sell them in the store, that would be awesome! on a side note, BKM and I have been looking for people to re-pop low pro 200x fenders in St. Louis and have had no luck so far....who does re-popping anymore!???

Maier and Fullbore will repop them in plastic. But you are going to pay out the nose for the molds.

I actually called maier a couple times last month and left messages to talk with their product support personnel. They haven't called me back yet...LOL. I will try fullbore, thanks for the information!

You need to ask for Jeff, and/or Mark. Mark is the owner, and he is who we spoke with when we had our molds made. Jeff is more of a hands on guy over there, so he should be able to work with you. You will have to send in your fender to get an estimate first, but they will take care of it once it gets there.

Fullbore may be a little more expensive, but has a much more relaxed custom order policy and Grant is a very nice guy to work with also.
There colors are also a little different than Maier.


(Sorry to trump your thread X2Rman)

What about re-making them from fiberglass, not near as expensive, right? Any fiberglass pros here interested in the project?

Fiberglass would be much cheaper. What you would need to do is to repair thr part to perfection, literally, and then cast it. After it is cast, you layer on the glass and resin until you have the thickness that you are looking for. It is a time consuming process, but would be much cheaper than making them in plastic.

[xman2rman]

Cool deal, I plan on repairing them and the bottom side is no problem, I may put another layer on them once the cracks are fixed to beef them up. It also looks like there was a support bar of some sort across the back that is missing. It is a v shaped channel molded across, it looks like something was there prior to the breaks and both ends of the v are broken. As far as making them look good, how would I go about repairing the gel coat? The fenders are spider webbed all over and I would think a new coat of gel would do the same thing as soon as it flexed? How would several thin layers of resin hold up? They would just have to be painted then.

[KI4UJO]

If you re-gel them, you will need to grind off the old gel coat and re-gel them. Once this is done,it shouldn't spiderweb. After this, you can make a mold and put the part back into production.

How can you tell their SRP?? by the way the back edge is not straight?

I have a set and the back edge is straight?

Love Them

Fiberglass or plastic

[xman2rman]

They are fiberglass. Do you mind posting a pic of yours? Any one else have a set of fiberglass R fenders?
