I want to fit my front mudguard to a model 80 sherpa using the original shaped stays. I don't have any of these but I reckon I could make them easily enough with a little help.

 

If anyone has a bike with these on it (twinshock maybe) could you do me a favour. Could someone screw them off and try to make a drawing or template with a few dimensions on it. It would give me a better idea than just working from a photo.

I have an original set somewhere , if I can dig them out I will draw a template . they are not very substantial though that's why sam made tubular ones , they do look good though

 Thank you, that would be great. I'll PM my address

Trailie,

 

The stay on my Sherpa is kinda similar but I found they break easily. Anyway I'll post a pic and a ( poor) drawing with measurements if it's any good.

Larry that's a great bit of work and easy enough to understand, appreciate it. I've never seen a bracket like that one before.

If I'm honest I'd still like to make ones similar to the top picture.

What thickness is the aluminium in your bracket, I was thinking 2 mm would be ok.

Trailie, yep, its 2mm alright. I agree the stays in the pic look better.
