Front inner fender brace...

i'm talking about the curved inner brace that connect the rad support, inner fender, and outer fender together.
my truck didn't come with these and i'm mocking up front end (s10 swap) and wanted to have all the stock type bracing atached to make sure the front clip is as square as possible AND it seems like these would add some needed strength to the outer fender sides.

does anyone know where i can buy some? new or used. classic parts has them but its part of a "kit" that includes the rad support frame....for 300$!!!! i asked if they'd sell me just the fender braces and they said no.
im searching ebay with no luck so far....so i figured id ask here.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Front inner fender brace...

MMM...BRAINS..., I made the ones for the truck I was working on. They were made out of 1" x 1" .125 wall tubing. There are pictures on my build thread. It was easier to make them rather than trying to track some down.
