Mudguard height

Some more pic's in Quest to resolve my mudguard/light problem, Had bracket from Mikey (first pic) today but it doesn't work with my mudguard it's straight, would need to be angled but taller than the one fitted to my bike, see picture), Think mudguard is wrong ???. or both ???..

Height Level with top nut on light and frame (light points down).

Is a short guard more of a rightangle?, mine seems to be flared out.

Seems to be a gap when viewed side on, could it be bent?..

On a happier note..........

I agree...wrong bracket..If you are looking to put it back to standard I may be able to help with long rear mudguard.

Provided I have not screwed it up again then here shout be some photo's of the US spec mudgaurd set up

Thezedsintheshed · #26 PostAuthor: **Thezedsintheshed** » Wed May 28, 2008 6:32 pm

Ahh looks as if I have finally sorted the photo posting bit !
I checked the "raised" section of the mudgaurd where it bolts to the frame tube and it is 5".
The mudgaurd in the photo is an original US spec one and the light unit has never been removed from it so if the light bracket on your mudgaurd doesnt match up with this one then that could well be the problem .
as per PM you are welcome to borrow the light bracket as a pattern to get one to match up.

If you are looking for a MOT test for Saturday then give Fairfield Garage in Port talbot a ring, the guy there who does the testing is fair and he knows his older type bikes. same sort of pass rate as Pritchards :wink:

NOW SOLVED, COURTESY OF ZEDINTHESHED...........

Thanks to Mikey who sent me a bracket, sadly no good and all other replies :wink:

This is the bracket that should be on it, ZED/Shed'''''''''''''' needs his so about to place WANTED, Anyone got one, Short guard American spec,

Now that's more like it, sad it's gotta go :cr

Black bracket is right, Chrome bracket is wrong.
