I know what John said and he is very creditable, but they are all different sizes, I have had all three in hand at once and measured them, they are specific to the frame style, both boys 39 straight down tube, 41 loop frame, and girls loop frame. 39 type boys is the largest and sits in the frame different enough not to fit on later models. Loop frame boys fits 41 until it was last manufactured.

It's a beautiful frame and fork. There must be a post war red and black tank out there somewhere.
I've never seen the postwar chrome fenders with curved braces listed for sale on the Cabe or eBay either.

I've never seen the chrome fenders with curved braces listed for sale on the Cabe or eBay. Just painted ones.
