Hi
I have been offered valanced fenders from a 1939 m20
I have a few doubts about their originality
Does anyone have a few pictures of these on a bike
Did they have a hinge at the rear join or the two bolts that hold them together
Were the skirts welded on to the guards and then the joint covered by chrome strips ?
They were not hinged originally - they are a 2 piece assembly with a tail piece secured by 2 special bolts - this hinge is a post war feature - at least to my knowledge
My valenced guards here are ribbed centre & the valenced sides seem to be secured by a rolled over seam - the tail piece also has a small section of rib - the same tail piece continued for the ribbed non valenced guard until the introduction of the flat rear section guard
I can take photos of mine later - I will have to send direct as I cannot load photos with my phone or iPad here
