I have ordered a mudguard and 20 square foot of sound insulation, looking forward to working on the trike. One thing I did notice when checking out the rear end that the rear wheel is not central to the body work, it seems to be about 20mm to one side. A bit strange, it is not central between the swinging arms as well, has anyone noticed this on their trike, is this something I should be concerned about?
Mine is much the same Mike - I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's important that the rear wheel is accurately adjusted for straight-ahead, less so where it is relative left v's right I think.
Mi3wheeler/Charlie, You have the fender I'm looking for. I've been all over the UK trailer sites and so far no luck. Could you please provide order info and dealer. All the US fenders I've looked at do not serve. Thanks, Hbatts
Hi Hbatts, the fender was bought from :- Peak Trailers Ltd Waterloo industrial Estate Waterloo Road Bidford on Avon Warwickshire B50 4JH
Telephone +44 1789 778041
This! Thanks for posting this for me as I would have to look this info up.
EDIT: It is also worth noting that I could not source a similar mudguard from this side of the pond either. I had seen another forum member post that they had gotten one from Peak Trailers so I emailed Peak to inquire about having one shipped to the US and I never got a response from them. Hence why Wirewheel acquired one (actually two, because I was unsure on sizes) and shipped it over for me.

In my spare time I am going to work with a strip of aluminum that I have acquired that is a decent gauge, about 1.5 inches wide by 3 feet long, to make a support for the mud guard that doesn't need to be attached at the rear.
Here is a rough sketch of how I think this will work:
