Fender Quick Release Size?
Fender Quick Release Size?
Picking up a few more of these for additional Babz fenders that I ordered, but looking to confirm if they are 3/8” or 1/2” versions for our Cobalts? Thanks in advance!

I recently installed 4 of the 1/2" Phender Pro clips on my 302. The instructions call for a 1" hole to be drilled, but it required a 1-1/8" hole. Good luck with the install - we've been very happy with ours!

Thanks gents! Won’t need to install as came from the factory with them, just looking to pick up a few more of the pins for alternate fenders.

Never thought of the alternate fender idea. We lost one clip and purchased a new one from the dealer for over $100. Please post a link if you find something more reasonable.TX777 wrote: Fri Aug 19, 2022 5:52 pm Thanks gents!

Over a $100? Holy cow I had no idea that they would be so expensive.
I had thought I picked these up at a reasonable price on eBay a month ago, but from what you’re saying I almost stole them.
My only complaint is that the Cobalt themed lines seem very large for fender lines. These fender lines are as large or larger than my normal dock lines. A minor quibble considering the price that I paid.

Re: Fender Quick Release Size?
Yes. Once I figured out that the specified 1” hole needed to be 1-1/8.”

When I see what stainless steel machined parts like this and the swim platform knob are priced at, it makes me want the umbrella holder that sliderule is making even more.

Re: Fender Quick Release Size?
The eBay seller originally had the fender clips listed at $150 or Best Offer. Unbelievably he accepted my ridiculous offer of $120 without doing any counteroffers?!?Big Block Power wrote: Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:21 pm You stole those. I'm on ebay all the time and never saw those. Nice grab![]()
It must be all the clean living that I do.
