Fender Design
A fender protects the car from mud, stone pellets and other dirt on the road. the sheet metal used in making fenders are rolled out of giant presses and then punched to make holes in them.
there are two kinds of fenders:
full bumper type and half bumper type.
it has 5 major mounting points:
- Body mounting
- Sill mounting
- Cowl mounting
- A-pillar mounting
- Drip area mounting
the mounting area images are as shown:
drip area is the region mounted below the hood inner panel. spot welding and self-tapping screws are used for fastening. embosses are made for spot welding.
from A-pillar mounting and sill mounting, the fender is rigidly attached to the body off the car.
