Rear fender options

[Ted2]

Hi everyone,

Who has the best, correct replacement rear fenders for a 54-55 car?

Thanks.

I'm gonna guess that Bob from BBT over in Belgium has had it made. They have North American distributors (Samba.com member Lind Bjornsen in Idaho, CIP1 in Canada, etc.). I just got a pair of the Euro Oval front fenders thru Lind rather reasonably priced too.

Produced by Dirk Hortig in Germany.

BBT has not completed their attempt to produce a rear fender yet. They have a prototype but have not distributed a finished product.

I have not seen many passable fenders other than the above... but they are pricey.

I have a set of Dirk’s rear fenders for my 54, purchased from WW. The details, quality and fit are exceptional, they even have the correct drain holes.

Are these fenders ribbed?

Dirk's fenders are not symmetrical - he made them that way on purpose.
