Or maybe it was online. But I sure can't find them now. Wherever it was, I recall them going for $100. I made my own patch panel.

I believe he was looking for a rear fender rear patch panel. The ones you linked are for the front of the rear fenders. They do work well, though.
I was looking at a Brother's Truck catalog and originally mistook a front fender rear patch for what he was describing (a rear rear patch panel). When I posted I searched about everywhere I could think of, but wasn't able to find them.

Jim carter SMF400L and SMF400R are the part numbers. Again, those patch panels are for the front of the rear fenders. Old Norse was looking for patches for the REAR of the rear fenders. I don't think anyone makes them (except me  , but I only make them one at a time and don't sell them.) If anyone is looking for those front patch panels, I can say that the ones from JC are good quality, having just used a pair of them.

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.
