21. MOUNTING THE GUARD

Decided to use up an old Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 carbon front mudguard (second grade) that had I had been tripping over for years.
First I taped on a piece of 25mm diameter plastic hose then placed the guard on & made a quick sketch.
Marked that out on to a bit of 20mm mild steel strap, pilot drilled the holes to m5 then using an m6 tap threaded those holes.
Stuffed x4 rubber grommets into the guard then bolted her up.
May need to fab a brace just yet,will see how it goes.
