Mudguard install with vertical brake bridge

[loz]

How do you think the mudguard should be fitted? Drill a hole through the mudguard and a screw?

Yes a friend of mine has custom made tourer and at that point on the mudguard its drilled and spaced with neat alloy spacers to meet the bridge.

right i'll get my drill out! (this may not end well)

Easy you have your centre line already marked, the black stripes. :-)

Don't drill!
Bend the bracket flat then attach bracket to frame, then attach mudguard to bracket

 

[User6179]

you only need to drill if clearances are tight, which they are not.

 

[User6179]

also put tape or something between bracket and mudguard as they can rub together and break over time.

Cable ties?

 

[User6179]

Just take the bracket off the mudguard and bend it flat then attach to frame then attach to mudguard , no need for drilling or cable ties

 

[User6179]

If its to far away from the tyre that way get another L shaped bracket and attach that to frame then bracket .

Cable ties?

Or Duck/Duct* tape.

*I don't need to know the difference

Just for curiosity what bike is it?

 

[The Brewer]

Nah looks like a cable tie solution

 

[SS Retro]

...............or just go for a neat engineered solution that doesn't involve the mudgaurd being way above the tyre or bodged with cable ties. Looks like its a beautiful steel Condor? It deserves a fitting solution to match!

haha, so many replies! i've gone with a temporary cable tie bodge, planning on trying to source an L shaped bracket (Meccano maybe)

Yes it is a Condor
