jza Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just bought a new (well new to me ) 4RT. The fenders are a bit shabby so i bought some off of Sandifords. The existing fender is pop rivetted on. I assume i just dremmel the four rivets off? So i bought a pop riveter... but the pop rivet aint long enough and when i looked at the fixings on the existing fender the underside rivets have discs on them... my rivets dont. Forgive my ignorance... but how do i fix the new fender to the bracket? Can i just buy some nuts and bolts? Anyone know of anyone who sells any kit for this purpose? Cheers, Jza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex rider Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Two zip ties should do it......and the mudguard will come off before it snaps. Clever eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellonmelug Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Nuts and bolts with largish washers and nylock nuts usually do the job for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
