Front mudguard for 46-50 Ariel

Post by arnie.bennett »

I need a new valanced front mudguard to fit telescopic fork '46-'50 Ariel. There are such mudguards as well as petrol tanks etc appearing on eBay, made in India. Are these adequately made and well-fitting, although they obviously need drilling and painting?
Any opinions or experience would be helpful.

Atm a Australian Ariel owner has great difficulty reclaiming his money as the parts ordered (All tinware for aWNG) could not be delivered by the Indian maker.

Thanks for your help, folks. Points well taken. However, is anyone sure that Bruce is still actually making parts? Naturally I'd rather buy from him if possible, as I've done so in the past - always good quality, fit and very reasonable prices.
