As posted last week I decided to experiment with a rear mudguard for the M3W  I bought a plastic trailer mudguard for a 15" wheel - a full radius type (rather than half a hexagon type) Taking off the ally plate the "new" guard was fitted using the same fixing holes and bolts.The guard fitted in a perfect radius round the wheel and met the rear chassis bang on the base area - fixed with two Hex head wood screws to the ash. Its works a treat - as the test drive yesterday demonstrated.  U just need a slight mod round the drive belt area and to allow for suspension travel. This will stop the seat belt issue - forces road debris/water etc downwards, not into the transmission area and stops debris being thrown up into the covered boot area.  so bingo!An easy mod - which could be simply reversed to original if necessary.

Yes its a 15" radius Trailer mudguard - 8" width so as to fit right across the tyre. I would think any good Trailer shop would sell these - I bought mine from www.peaktrailers.com just outside Stratford upon avon where I live!  Their web site has a handy tech page with all the drawings and dimensions.BTW it cost £8

As it's so straightforward and cheap to fit, I think you should drop a line to MMC!
Joking aside, it's a very neat job. Gerry.

I've looked on the site and at the data sheet but can't see one with a 15 inch radius and 8 inch width am I looking in the right place?
Cheers

You should go back and buy a few more, then come back here and sell them for £15 +shipping each to lazy fellows like myself.
