W/ng rear stay

Post by RTichard Woolnough »

I have finally bitten the bullet and following a long discussion with 'Trevor' at Dragens den believe we identified the correct stay and lifting handle for the '42 W/ng,[ which I have purchased,] I have a rear guard and a hinged part which now mate, there are a couple of what I feel are extraneous brackets attached to the original front part which makes me think it could perhaps be from another era, these will remove easily, what I could do with a picture of the tail end showing the original mounting of the guard and the stays, if anyone could post one it would be much appreciated, Thanks
Kind regards

I have hundreds. The rack is not original but the mudguard and stays are correct...

Absolutely, and a brilliant idea it is too:

And here's one from my WNG showing the front bracket that attaches to the engine plate:

That double cranked bend is not as any original I've seen. I think your guard is a bit over to the chain side. Nev

That's an interesting picture of the lifting handle mounting, the one I have purchased has the guard bracket welded to it but the pic seems to show a separate part attached by the bracket which is on the guard, I may have to sort this out a tad by removing this piece and drilling a locating hole, at the moment the guard will have to slide between this and the lifting handle.

If it my photos of the front bracket you refer I think its an optical illusion. The bracket is just a plain 90 degree bend. The centre rib of the mudguard is inline with the centreline of the frame so all's good :D

Can you post a photo of what you have?

Have you had a look on Drags site at the mudguard section. They have good photos of the W/NG mudguard (with the bracket that the lifting handle attaches to riveted to the mudguard as original) and the lifting handle/mudguard stay assembly. The Drags link is below:
