When i line the feed fenders i got from chuck at rotary extreme. They don't exaclly fit , The gap along the door and the fender is to wide, and the fiberglass has to stretch to fit, which will eventually cause it to break. I was wondering if anyone has fit fenders on from roaty extreme before, They fit well when they are on the other side of the front bracket but then the front bumper does not line up correctlly. I could not get them to fit well, any suggestions, i'll prob e-mail chuck and see what he suggestes. thanks,

Are they FEED replicas or genuine FEED?

seems like you need to modify the mounting holes so you

can adjust the fenders



or do the mounts allow for adjustment and you havent adjusted?

They are feed replicas, i still think that they should fit.



I can get the fender adjusted at fitted, but it requires it to stretch a little, and i did not want to bolt it down while it was streching, because i thought that the stress on the fiberglass would cause it to break , any suggestions?

thanks

fiberglass doesnt stretch, so Im not sure what it is you think will

be achieved? You can push on it to get bolts to line up, but it wont

grow and stretch
