M1009 fender reinforcement

[KansasBobcat]

Does anyone make/sell the reinforcing plates that go in the front fender wells at the back? Couldn't find them in LMC catalog. There is a left and a right. Could fabricate but has 2 channels pressed in and flat plate would not be a good fit. Thanks

Not quite sure what they are. Have you checked for a part number in the parts TM yet? That might hold a clue on availability.

Can you post a pic please?

Not good at posting pics. The plates are triangular with 3 holes for fasteners. I have looked thru my -20P and cannot find this part. I have seen several M1009 where these are rusted thru or crudely replaced. It seems that all body parts for K5 Blazers are available somewhere, I just haven't found these.

FWIW Gimpyrobb had NOS right side inner fenders complete for a pittance!

Those are made to the inner fender panels and not serviced separately.
Replace the panels or make your own.
Note-If yours are rusted through, chances are, were the inner panel bolts to around the fender will be rusted too, or at least started.
Also when using other than NOS panels, you will need to transfer the battery try plates from the right side to the new panels.
