Dub post,kill me.
But basically I filled the threads with JB Weld let it dry, sanded and wet sanded it smooth, installed a starnut, and gave it a fresh coat of black paint, looks pretty legit and I have no doubt in my mind itll work, I guarantee it.

Where can I find the metal to make a flex fender?

Steel: you'll want to order Spring Steel, problemo is that it is not very easy to work with since it is hardened or needs to be hardened to work as a Spring. basically you heat it up red hot- this anneals it(softens) which allows you to work it: Cut it, drill it bend it.
Then you have to heat it again & quench it- this makes it hard again but brittle.
heat it up again to Temper it- takes some of the brittleness out and you end up with a "Spring". Something you can bend but returns to its original shape.

Example is the leaf Springs under a car or a simple Metal ruler.

Stainless Steel- but that is even harder to work with since a basic set of drill bits won't be able to drill through it.

Aluminum: same thing- to get the properties of strength yet Flex it isn't something you buy off the shelf.

Now with that being said you can always find something that could work for you.

I think there was a Brake somewhere back in this thread.

...and this dude is selling fenders for 10 bux shipped

That is a deal. I'm all for making my own sheite but 10bux to my door is a bargain- as long as they hold up.
