I am getting ready to put some fender mountain turn signals on my duster and was wondering if anyone has a template or measurements/dimensions and where they normally go?
Duster Fender mounted turn signal location.

What year Duster?

It’s a 70. It never came with them originally, but I’m installing an Autometer dash that doesn’t have the provisions for signal indicators.
The 1970 Duster came with the small chrome style they took two holes, First picture. The 71's came painted and they were one year only on plymouth they took three holes, Second picture. 72 and up were screwed on from the top
I found measurements by searching here but can’t find it again. If I remember correctly it is 6 1/8 from front edge of fender to front edge of signal and 1/2 inch from inside of fender to edge of signal. Do a search and just keep trying until you find it but I think this is correct.
I didn't have any measurements to go by so I laid it out to where it looked the best (by my eyes). I used the rubber gasket to locate the holes. Measure 3 times drill once.
I hope this helps. Don.

1971 were the only Dusters that had hood pins . Fenders are 1971 only

Thanks for the reference. I just picked up a pair of decently priced 72 to 76’s with the screw. I’m sure I can make them work. I was going to paint them body color just for something different.
1970
I can try to get some pictures off my fenders tomorrow. I have a 70 and both fenders are off the car.
The indicators that were on my 72 Gold Duster looked like the ones in your 70 pic with the nuts on the bottom. I didn't care for them so I took them off and welded the holes up. Here's an old pic of the car and a pic I just took of the indicators as I just had them in the other room.
The reason I asked was those turn indicators were only available on Dusters in 1970 and the hood pins were only available on Dusters in 1971. I like the chrome indicators used next to the chrome pins on your car. Nice touch.
Hey Steve. Thanks for the compliments. Ref post #6 (6 1/8" from front edge of fender) would have been too close to the hood pin bezels. Speaking of hood pins, I was fortunate to have the holes in the fender/core support and the hood bracing. Don.

My 72 Demon is like forphorty's reply in #14, has the '70 style indicators.
Here’s rough dimensions on my two fenders. I believe they are both 1970. The red one came from a member in Detroit and the green one is from Lee Robinson on here. Let me know if you need better or more pictures.
It looks like the tape measure moved as I took the picture of the distance from the front of the fender. Hard to do on a curved surface.
Hey @forphorty your inbox is full. Could you pm me about your indicators please. Thanks.
Paging @forphorty.........Please pm me regarding the indicators. Your inbox is full.
I corrected the info on the pictures above. Thanks for correcting me.
