trailie Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 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.

bult360 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpar Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 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 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailie Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 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. http://www.ralphsbultaco.blogspot.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpar Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Trailie, yep, its 2mm alright. I agree the stays in the pic look better. Larry2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
