mcman56 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I have a set of 1971 Alpina forks on a C15. The forks came with no mud guard or mud guard brackets. I have seen a few pictures of Alipnas with high MX style mud guards but I want to run low ..trials, standard type plastic mud guards. What can I use for brackets? Where can I get them? Should I just make some U shaped Aluminium bends or would something stiff... more like a brace/ bracket be desirable? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 If you have used the same fork tube spacing on your C15 as on the Alpina, then a low mount made for Sherpa Ts should fit. Yes, some Alpinas came with high mounted guards, but the sliders are the same casting as Sherpa T sliders. Alpina forks are leading axle and have mudguard mount ears front and back of each side as on Sherpa T forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Thanks for the reply. Are all Sherpa sliders/ mud guard mounts the same or do I need to be concerned about year of manufacture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Question #2 What type of brake cable do these use? There is a tab with small hole on the backing plate that looks like the inner cable would go through. But... the lever that activates the shoes looks like it takes a barrel type end. The barrel would never fit through the little hole so I mudt be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
