Adapted mudguards continued

Fixed section of rear guard:

The wear strip doesn't show well in this pic - see assembled pic below.

RH front stay threaded M3 to allow it to be bolted to the hole in the hood of the dropout.

All 3 stays attached to RH dropout

Existing hole in rear swingarm drilled out and tapped M5 to provide a fixing point for the front LH stay. Folded stainless steel plate to clamp the stay in position allows a little height adjustment - obviously more if you make the stay longer.

The two rear LH stays are fixed to the existing M5 holes in the dropout. I had to omit washers under the screw heads and cut down the screw heads to avoid interference with the front hub when the wheels are locked together.

Simple stainless steel plate fixed with pop rivets to hold the stays in place.

Rear guard unfolded.

Hinged section of rear guard in folded position. The sprung loaded latch presses on the grey plastic plate to hold the guard in this position. When unfolding the grey plate automatically pushes up past the latch assisted by the roller in the tip of the latch and yielding to the upward push from the rear swing arm as you swing it into position, exactly as shown in the animation 2 posts above.

Top fixing for the front guard with hose clip in place.

Let me know if you want any more information.
