Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Rear wheel Mudguard

As requested I have taken some photos of the rear mudguard arrangement on my M3W with a brief description how it was made up.

Two top brackets


Back support strap between top brackets


Fixing to original MGuard


Right support bracket


Left support bracket


Top and bottom fixing - cut out for belt


Drilled and bent original MGuard


NOTE the underside plates for strenght





I used the Indespension trailer mudguard part MG008 and 24x2mm aluminum strip from B&Q

1 Remove the existing mudguard and drill a couple of holes on the top edge and one on the bottom. I used 5mm bolts so 5.5mm holes are good. See photos.

2 Offer up the new mudguard and cut it to clear the belt.

3 Slightly flatten the original Mguard and re-install it. Insert the new Mguard, get it into the desired position and mark through the two holes onto the new Mguard. Drill the two holes in the new Mguard, make the aluminum strengthening straps for the top and underside of the new guard. Bolt these in place and leave the screws long enough so that they can be bolted onto the original guard.

4 Make the two top brackets and plates for the underside of the Mguard. Drill and fix these.

5 Mount the new Mguard into position using the two studs, bend the original Mguard to get a close fit. From there on it is a case of making up the brackets as shown in the photos.

6 The two back side support straps should be marked out with the guard slightly stressed, (the curvature of the guard reduced to follow the curve of the tyre better) this when bolted up increases the stiffness of the new Mguard considerably.

7 The third bolt at the bottom of the original Mguard/ new Mguard is a bit awkward to mark out and maybe unnecessary but it does make the Mguard nice and secure.

The mudguard can be removed with the brackets fixed in the assembled position as shown in the last few photos.

Thanks for all that, Mike.
I did make up a similar guard myself from sheet metal, but removed it when I suspected that it wasn't stable enough. Yours looks more rigid and a better job.
Apart from keeping all the crud off the components on the rear bulkhead, I wanted to also shield the drive belt to keep that cleaner and prolong sprocket life. Do you know whether your set up does that?

Not really sure, I have had a small stone penetrate the belt so it probably doesn't. Drive sprocket however does keep fairly clean.

Clever stuff and thanks for sharing.

Very nice work! When do you go into production ?

Thanks Mike. I just got the same fender from GB and hadn't worked out the mounting yet. Yours is very neat. Makes me appreciate this web site more and more.

That's a very smart version!

Am still proud to have been the first to create this mod.

When I first had my car in October 12 it seemed to me to be an essential.

One trailer mudguard later and a little fettling I was sorted.

Even MMC were interested - but not enough to fit one as standard!

See my posts from 2012.

Delighted to see the idea being successfully developed.
