G12 CSR Front Mudguard Stay Bracket

[John Jarrett]

Your forks look wrong with square bottom caps and early top nuts.

The forks are probably from a 1955 bike... that would be the only year with that combination.

Roy, it's possible the forks aren't original because there were signs that there had been damage to the front end when I got the 'bike.
Rob S, due to the above-mentioned damage, it's possible that my bracket setup is also not original, I don't think I'll change it though, because it makes it easier to clean and shine (if you know what I mean).

I have an under mudguard bracket on my G12, this is in stainless steel and was supplied direct from Andrew Engineering some years ago. I would agree that it makes cleaning and polishing so much easier and in my view, is a tidier method than the over mudguard/under mudguard sandwich affair. Perhaps the over/under bracket gives a more rigid fork brace but I’ve never noticed any fork flexing during normal riding or under heavy braking.

Thanks Columbo John, I can get drawing up my version, how thick are the brackets? I imagine they are about 1/8".
