Default Fender brackets, do they even exist?

Ok guys I have an issue. My fender brackets are completely rusted from sitting for years before I found and bought my 98 cherokee and I'm tired of pushing them back on but i can not find new brackets anywhere for some reason within a reasonable price. Starting to think I might as well pull them and install Bush wackers. Suggestions/thoughts?

Fenders are bolted to the chassis and don't use a bracket, possibly thinking of a flare retainer?

You can also get creative with VHB tape.

Look on rockauto also,But i would use it as a reason to get flat fender flares or cut outs depending your taste.

Get the brackets from quadratec. If you are cheap, zip tie the flares on.

Mine were also wicked rusted out, I ended up taking them off, sanding them down and reinforcing all the thin and missing areas with bits of scrap galvanized that i cut to shape and riveted in place. Then I riveted the whole mess to the fender flare and bolted it in place. You can buy it at the link Turbo X J tossed up but i didn't think it was worth the cost.
