One more thing I just recalled... the upper radius arm bracket usually needs
modification... it doesn't need to be near as wide as it is... a sawzall to
cut some of the center meat out where the bolt goes thru, and a torch to
heat up and pound the bracket inward toward the inner fender... then line up
the bolt hole.

Matt,
It takes some working of the inner fenders but it is possible, and it's
what all of the US racers use AFAIK. I just got done making some room to
fit them to a 62 Mark II square arch. Hopefully Ron, WST, or one of the
other vintage racers will chime in with some specifics on modifying the
Bugeye fenders.
