Jdeac Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thanks for those. I'm not a 100% on how I'm trying to make it work. Looks OK from either side. Not sure on the look behind. Doesn't want to sit right. Possibly need to trim the drive side some more. 3 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Looks alright to me. Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 It might be the pic. Because the swinger braces are different shapes. It seem to push it slightly off line/centre. Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 So after a few more tweaks. I think I'm going to stay as I was with the modded fron guard. So what's people's thoughts on mounting? Just some small tabs welded to the top brace. The guard is made from some form of plastic. So has some flex. Not alot of stress on the tabs Pic is just an example 1 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 That will be a neat way, better than making brackets to go round the arm brace. Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) @wraith do you think I could cut enough thread in some 3-4mm tabs. Or would it have to be a small bolt and nut?? Just trying to get loads of bits sorted for my welder mate. Then i will update my dormant build thread Edited August 19, 2022 by Jdeac Quote Link to comment

Just trying to get loads of bits sorted for my welder mate. Then i will update my dormant build thread 4mm yes 3mm I'd be looking at putting a nut on as well. You can always use a half nut on the back to help as well, just to make sure Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'd like to know where 4mm ally is available: i need some > 3mm, < 6mm, and this is proving difficult to source. 3mm too thin, 6mm too thick. Anything inbetween seems to be the metal equivalent of unicon horns Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 @DezzaI have some 3.5 sheet. And some u channel in 4mm ish. All ally Quote Link to comment

All ally I need a bit ~50mm wide and 330mm long, for my exhaust bracket. I think imperial size 3/16 would be perfect as that's 4 3/4 mm but it's just really difficult to source: all I get is 3mm or 6mm, nothing inbetween I think 3.5 may be too thin, unfortunately.

Jdeac Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 I'm back with this. I've had some tabs welded on the swinger. (Won't be using the bolts in the pics) drive side sits fine good tyre clearance etc. But brake side is OK. Until you get to the point my finger is in the picture. It's tight on the tyre where my finger is. Loads of room drive side. Think the different heights of the top braces the issue. But more eyes and all that. Any ideas chaps and chapettes Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 You could put a spacer in but why bother, will act as a mud scraper if you go of road Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 @clivegtoit all sits good. My thought is to move the brake side forward. Its the 2 differen shape/height braces thats throwing it off. Was good with the cable ties.. but now pulled in a little when bolted Quote Link to comment
