How to install a front fender with this type of fork?

[Cholo Dumlao]

Can anyone show me how to put fenders in this type of fork. Photos would really help. By the way I'm from the Philippines so I hardly see vintage bikes. Thanks.

A lot of times there was a threaded insert inside the steer tube just above the tire. Remove the front tire and take a look. If there is just find a bolt that fits it

If you live in the Phillipenes You likely see the most beautiful woman in the world everyday. As for the forks, I had a similar issue which was easily resolved. I already had a hole in my fender and a whole in my forks.

I used a compression plug to bring them both together. The compression plug's top cap went beneath the fender to serve as a washer. The plug went into the fork.

I then threaded the screw into the top cap through the fender and into the compression plug and then tightened it all. As the screw goes into the plug it expands itself and become tight in the whole.

Thanks gigmata for complementing our filipinas here. And for the fender I thank you for sharing your ideas on how with visuals. And by the way I'm very inspired by your builds thanks also for sharing.

As previously posted the Ashtabula style fork usually has a screw hole, but they're not always threaded so you may need to tap it.

You are most welcome, Cholo. I have met many Filipinas and they have all been lovely sweet ladies. If I ever visit I no doubt would be lovestruck by most of them.

As for bikes, I do thank you sir. I am pretty sure that any local shops should stick those compression plugs. Also, watch the "Dreamcatcher" build. It will be the most detailed build of mine ever. I think it also have more brackets than a car.
