Buggying

Well seen as i got a new buggy I thought it would be good to have a mudguard rather than a splash guard so had a look at some i'd seen on here on other buggys and the more i looked I thought i'd have to do it myself design one that is so after using rubber that got ripped of while travelling home from the park i decided to make it from plastic and rick told me he could get some then andyfly jumped in and said he'd send a bit up and what size do i need so after telling him it arrives and i set about making a guard to suit my bug and this is what i'v come up with

and here is the end result and i got to send out a HUGE THANKS TO MR FLY you sir are a true gentlman and a top mate and i am humbled again by your genorosity thank you

Like it big fella.

My lino one, flaps it's self to death on the back of my vehicle when travelling.
I've got #2 son on the lookout for some draper matting off the front of a header comb. It's about 2mm thick rubber and canvas reinforced. (Gotta have something that is safe to land on)
You look after that bug the workmanship is first class.

I'm working over some radical ideas to get more out of my Chook Chaser during the winter lay off this year.

Will keep you posted as and when it happens,

Nice job wolfie....

You transformed that small piece of 3mm HDPE into a practical, attractive accessory that looks great on the Tiger.

No-doubt it'll do a top job and keep the sand out of your smile ......and off your XK t-shirt......

Very, very nice mate....well done

Andy....


@ Chook.... PM sent....

Mr Wolf, nice job with the mudguard much better than any splashguard
only thing I've found, is in dry sand the tyre will spin it forward and then it comes back at your face over the front fork
you may need to extend it forward

Love the bug mate

yep thought of that JD but it dose that with a splash guard anyway so at the moment will see how it goes and if i need to look at something different will do it then as was looking at fiberglass and moulding one to suit that goes forward to stop the throw back ,BUT at the end of the day that all part of the fun an't it ?? cheers andy looks good eh!!now i got this big bit of plastic for some stickers too!!!!

nice looking job wolfie

hey chook i used the 3.5 mm reinforced rubber but it was not STRONG ENOUGH !!and to stop it ripping you need 5to6mm thick then it gets heavy and hard to bend and work the plastic at this stage is looking the way to go will let ya all know after a few runs and yes it is a bit of 3.5mm on the bottom of the guard

Ah ha, keen to see how you go then. My lino one almost drags along the sand behind the wheel and is 260mm wide across the bottom edge to keep the crap off the jatz crackers.

Nice one mick, have been playing with making one of those up myself if I can get some of the plastic.

Looks good Mr Wolf .... even better then you described

that header front should work that shit bloody strong. i've got ours going flat out and the join got hooked on another part stopped it dead took me about 5-6 goes to work out where it was getting hooked but the amount of force it would of had on it surprised it only tore about 10cm not the whole way.
