Title: C15 rear mudguard fixings
Post by: Mark on 05 May, 2018, 20:45
Hello all,

I bought this 1965 C15 in boxes & I have just fitted the rear mudguard to the fixing points 3 bolts as shown in the diagrams & photos, it seems really flimsy on the back end of the mudguard side to side movement.

I have also found a bracket that a previous owner may have fitted to resolve this issue also shown in the photos.

Question is how many fixing points should there be?

Thanks Regards Mark

The brackets on the back of the sub-frame seem to go missing quite often. The Bantam I'm presently restoring has the brackets missing and someone used a similar bracket to that shown to attach the rear mudguard. In my case, I will simply repair the original brackets with a bit of welding which will give a more rigid mounting to the rear mudguard.
