73 small bumper conversion

I have 73 maverick I'm looking to do small bumper conversion. I've read a lot on the forum. Didn't find anything about the notch for the stone guard. I believe the early models have notch . So I'm going to guess I just cut notch in. One other question are the fenders same with .
Thanks in advance

 

The earlier models have fenders that are cut out where the newer ones do not have this cut out section. You will need a stone guard from an earlier model. Then just cut notches in the stone guard. This saves you from having to replace your fenders. Thats how I did it on my Comet.

 

I converted my 73 Maverick to the small front bumper. I had a stone guard from an earlier model but I just cut the rubber one from the 73 to fit without notching the fenders. Turned out decent.

 

Thats good. I never thought of doing that. Sounds cool

 

I notched my fenders for the early stone guard.
I cut it short and folded it to have a factory edge.

 

Thank you for this info. I was thinking I would have to look for fenders .

 

Now that is the way you do it...and it is easy!

 

do you happen to have the measurements on nothing the fender there are no pictures and none of the links work anymore

 

no pics or measurements... puter crash.

 

I have absolutely no references or anything to go by when I do my swap it's insane how many people have done this swamp and there's no information

 

post #5 has pictures...On the inside of my fender was a factory mark that I used.
