I don't think the front patches would be much use on the rear. The rear of the fender is a compound curve (dished) in most areas that rust out, and the front patch is basically a flat curve (single direction) with a flange. The main part of the rear rust-out isn't hard to form with a hammer and sandbag, but some shrinking is needed to get the compound curve formed. I was able to form patches for the rear of both my rear fenders using stump shrinking on my first attempt.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
