Rain held off today and was quite nice, not like yesterday where I was dodging the showers (typical British summertime)
Got the welder out again and repaired the offside cycle wing mud guard bracket.
Fitted the brackets to the buggy, I got the fibreglass mud guards out of storage and placed them on for size.
A really strange thing has happened, I made a decent tidy job of filling the old mounting holes, faring and painting (you would have never known the old holes existed). When I got the mud guards out of the shed it was really obvious where the old holes were, the paint has crazed and TBH looks rubbish. I had to look at the previous pics just to double check I wasn't going crazy! I didn't take a pic as I was in self denial, but is evident on both front mud guards, will post a pic later on.
The only explanation I can come up with is the differences in thermal expansion between the filler and paint I applied in January and the original layup, also stored in a hot shed in late July. I hope the new mounting holes will hide this.
Need to get some more grey primer, had a little left so managed to get half a coat on yesterday evening.
This is probably where Danny will post "I've got a decent spare set of mudguard brackets somewhere..."
