Well, the first set of fenders on my Notch I just repaired with fiberglass. I did it with the thought that I'll keep looking for a good set of used ones, which I found about 6 months later(I still have them on another project and they still haven't re-rusted). On my wife's Fasty, I did the same thing, but it was about 4 years later that I found a set. If you keep in mind that its a temporary repair until a good set pops up then it won't bother you as much. I realise that a good set of rust free ones is the best way to go, but sometimes circumstances work against you, and having repaired ones is better than nothing. This really isn't a structural area so fiberglass is a good way to fix this. I hope this helps.
