Thanks Pete, you're absolutely right, here are a couple of unexpected ones, I couldn't find anyone who did repops and my local breakers didn't have any either

This bracket bolts to the top of the fender and actually looked great until I hit it with a wire brush,

The tin worm in the L bracket that holds the fender seal was a little easier to spot

had to make one of these too

Thing is they're not flat, but luckily for me the one part that hadn't completely disintergrated was the shaped part, which gave me something to use as a pattern.

I had the same with my rear fenders along the bottom edges,
I did fix them but there is some filler in them so didn't strip them all the way back until I rebuild the old girl fab work looks good i am sure I will be doing
Some of that lol
