Does anyone know how long the fender braces are from the bottom of the fender in front of the tire to the bottom of the bumper on a '69 Dodge Dart? I've got 2 braces and not sure what they're from. Thanx.

I found that at least for a 71 duster, b-body and a-body braces are the same.

I figured the owner removed them to save a couple ounces of weight.

Are you asking about dimensions for this approximate one inch wide brace or strap like on this '69 B-body front fender, but for a '69 Dart A-body? Or the small round (?) strap at the front lower part?

For the round brace at the front lower part of the front fender it is 10-1/2" (inches) from bolt hole center to center. The inside fender support is 9" from top to bottom on my '69 Dart GTS (M-Code) original driver's side front fender.

I finally remembered to do this. It's hard to be exact since my head barely fit under the fender but it looked to be about 11-1/2" on mine.
