well i dont know how to explain this very good but i would drill two holes in the deck (get it all aligned) and put a bolt if you can get ahold of one,put like two bearing spacers on it (do this to both sides) and like get the plate from under some folding mechs,or just a piece of metal and make a bridge from the two bolts,just put it in a comfy spot,i dont think this helped but just get creative?
haha, no offence but for the price you can buy one from shq you could probs get a whole new scooter. Well probs not that much but yeah, a bit. The only thing I buy from that place is eagles... I want a flex fender too, this guy makes them at school in like five minutes so I'll ask him to make me one next time he has metal
You can get fixed fenders from skaterhq?

I think people are getting fixed fender and flex fender mixed up. For anyone that doesn't know a fixed fender is basically just a piece of metal suspended over the back wheel that does not move or ever touch the back when riding. It's basically for people like Zane who don't really want a brake but still need something there. Flex fender is like a bendable *flex*able thinner piece that does bend down and touch the back wheel to brake.
I ... rigged a horrible one, depending on the type of deck you use and if you rest your foot on it, it might not last a while.
Anyway, i took a pro brake, marked a point where it was above the drop outs on a pro mod, drilled through and bolted so it couldn't touch the wheel.
(poor diagram)
if the bolt is nice and snug against the deck, it works pretty well

3 of my riders and myself run what we call stomp pads. They are super legit. I make them but have not marketed them as a Zero Gravity product yet. Hit me up if you want to see a pic. I sell them for 20 bucks. Email me @ zerogravitynw@yahoo.com

wtf, i thouught of the EXACT same idea before you posted that.
Well i actualy tried it, and if anyone is going to do it make sure your super precise.
I did it on both sides of the brake and it worked but came loose real quick so i decided to try some new bolts, ended up snapping a bolt in the hole and giving up lmao.
So i just put a bearing under the spring, super glued that and CRC'ed (wd40) the spring so its super dialed <3.
