Is your roadster based on the Master or Standard series. If it is a Standard there were no fender skirts made for that model. If a Master it would depend if stock US fenders were used.
Recently listed Ebay 34 masters fender skirts! For one Holden Roadster body's and USA or Canada built Roadster body’s are not the same and were made to different specs dimensions! So you’re best bet if you can find one would to locate a Holden masters fender skirts!
Only the body was made by Holdens. The fenders were imported and are identical to what was available in the US. I believe the only time Holden made fenders were in 1931-2 and the front ones for 1933 Master.

So U.S fender skirts will fit my 35 Aussie roadster? I’d hate to spend that much cash and they don’t fit
For some info. The 1934 Master skirts will fit on a 1935 Master (and all 1936 cars) and viseversa. Note the 1935 Master for sale in the May G&D. It has 1934 Master skirts. I saw that car years back and the skirts fit perfectly.
If your car is a 1935 Master, yes the skirts will fit. If you scroll down to Other meets, Tours and Events and have a look at the Gatton Australia event you will see a green 1935 Master Sloper fitted with a set that have been on the car since new.
That's wierd! My 34 Master has fender skirts, my 35 Master does not. I have two extra sets of Skirts for a 34 Master but they do not fit the 35 Master. They are close but they do not fit.
Here’s Daves Roadster with side skirts from Connecticut plus my California friend with his Roadster! I think his Roadster is over the top with all accessories! Just my thoughts!
I have a theory on the 34 Skirts. Since the 35 Master in the G&D of Dick's was built in Tarrytown and my 35 Master was built in Flint, could the Rear Fenders be "Stamped" a little different because of the different plants? And even if that is true, the front mounting bracket on the skirt would have to be bent in as the 35 Master Rear Fender is about 1" narrower in the front than the 34 Master. Any thoughts?
The 1934 chevrolet standard was shipped to australia Holden needing only the MAIN body made by holden and top ect. The 1934 chevrolet master was shipped to Australia Holden needing only the MAIN body made by Holden and top ect.
These were shipped from Canada as C K D = complete knock down, everything in boxes .
Therefore Holden did not produce fenders ?? why would they.
Re fender skirts 34 Chevy master series , the ones I have seen many times on ebay usa have 3 straight different length stainless trim on them Using my 1934 Chevrolet Genuine accessories catalogue they show up for the Master series 3 straight stainless trim rings as pictured in the book.
Switching to the 1935 chevrolet master accessories catalogue the shape to the wheel skirts looks very similar. Only noticeable difference is that the 3 stainless moldings have a curved wing to them.
Only somebody who owns both 34 master and 35 master like jon-jet can say they are interchangeable if he has a set of 34 master skirts-----
WHEEL SHIELDS come up in 1940 parts book as : 8.175 section….broken down into : wheel shield 601547 35-36 master Left, 601548 35-36 master Right : 8.176 molding wheel shield , 8.177 wheel shield rubber channel, 8.178 screw wheel shield , 8.179 latch plate wheel shield 1934 master
I have a pair of 1934 skirts and 3 left hand side skirts for 1935-6.The skirts will not interchange without modifying them. The shape at the front is the same on both years but at the back for about 12" the 1935-6 style is more rounded while the 1934 style is more tapered. Both years have a different attaching method but that would not be hard to modify. I have some times wondered if the 1935-6 style would fit the 1937-8 models.
I would have to say NO with the 1935-6 style would not fit the 1937-8 models as these fenders are a whole different design! Only somebody who owns a 34 master and a 1935-36 master and a pair of 34 master skirts to try to fit on each year of car can say definitively, yes the do fit or not they don’t. Does 35-36 master set fit onto a 34 master ??
Looking at a picture of a 35-36 master fender skirts what appears different is the 3 trim pieces.
I and u can only make opinions based on what we can see. JON JET apparently has both 34 and 35 master he should know .
The 1937-1938 skirts were of an all new shape. They will also fit a 1939 opening allthough the 1939 skirt is plain with the only trim was an extension of the running board mould trim on the lower edge. The actual 1939 skirt also locked on in a completely different manner.
I have both 1934 skirts and 1935-6 skirts (one side only) and as I said in my last post, they do not interchange with out modification. To fit 1934 skirts to a 1935-6 fender, extra metal would have to be welded to the trailing edge to fill the gap as the 1935-6 fender has more cut out in that area. With the 1937-8 style although I know the design of the fender is different and the skirts to suit are different my thoughts were, are the actual wheel arches smaller or a different shape. To me they look very similar. ,
