Im trying to find a half size rear mudguard for the cutdown im building. Found this one online at Beedspeeds

http://beedspeed.com/product_info.php?products_id=1296

Ordered it but they no longer do it even though it shows up in their online catalogue. Does anyone know where I can get one like this or something similar?

Nowt new there then with Beedys, :( I rang them up once and asked about a load of stuff I wanted so i drove over as I'm only about 30 mins away,when I got there they hadn't got the stuff and denied saying they had.
Also another time I bought a new rear hub and all the studs sheared on it after about 500 miles,took it back and was told that they're not built for TS1's so what did I expect.No refund,exchange or nowt. :o

Don't use them now :)

He used to be good in the 80's and early 90's but gone downhill rapidly

might be better with an 8" trailer muguard as the seem to fit the tyre size well as trailers got bigger profile tyres, i only say that cos the when building my series 6 the 10" one was to big

Yes i thought that, the ones ive been looking at are between 125mm and 145mm wide and either plain or galvanised steel. The 10" ones are about 165mm wide
