You would likely use a spacer, and a longer bolt on the left side to clear the disc caliper .
top of the mudguard, 'L' bracket a bolt is screwed thru the arch.
In an ices up every once in a while place , I have 26x1.9 Nokian studded tires.
they are a secure road connection when the Iced sidewalks are hard to walk on.
Mount and Ground W Nokian, now in their 20th year , and still have all the studs in them. ..
I guess my DART 3 is a POS without any of those attachment points. the nicer touring suspension forks seem to have the threaded holes for racks and fender, but not my low-end junk. i also don't have a hole in the arch
I guess it's time to get creative with attachment to the arch and around the lower casting. any suggestions not requiring drilling?
