3 speed restore snag #2
Well, my Sturmey Acher is finally working. The rim is okay and a couple of spokes look bent but for the most part, I think is rideable.
Anyway, I have a feeling the powdercoater lost my Fender bridge and the parts that hold the chainguard. No ill feelings, just bumming.
It looks like this:
I think I can bend/contort the fender to fit it. Unless someone else has a suggestion or McGuyver I can try, I'll try it.
Or can I use these? I'm guessing I have to drill a hole in the fender:
Also, I think I can McGuyver these things to work on the chainguard.
I'll need these as well. What's the part on the left with the 2 screws on each end?

Those things are available aftermarket via J&B, IIRC.

Thanks again skywriter.
Here's an update. Looks like the powdercoater was able to mail me my little pieces! Hurray!! I'm getting real close!
Just need an indicator chain but I *may* be able to get it to work for a little bit with the old one.
The future looks like I want to build new wheels for it. 80 for rims, 100 for spokes and nipples....
Economy is bad but I'll start saving now for some of these. I think I can actually ride this thing by the weekend (and take pictures for you guys!!!)
