I was laying out the items I need to install the Front Mudguard / Fender (I am going with Stainless Steel), including new Stays on my 1948 Rapide with Brampton Girder Forks. Referring to MO30, I realized it doesn't show what goes on the underside of the Mudguard! And the Mudguard is not even shown on MO63 for Girdraulic Forks. MO30 shows 1/4 BSF bolts (188 or (later) 589) with washers (92) go through the loops or eyes on the Stays (with loops to rear on front stay and down on rear stay) and then through the Mudguard. But what goes on the underside? Just the 1/4 BSF nuts (91)? Or with washers (92) and/or lock washers (590)? Nuts only would dig into the Mudguard and might be somewhat self locking but could make an unsightly dent and tear through the metal over time. Washers would spread the load on the mudguard and have less of a tendency to tear through the Mudguard. Advice, please.
Also, does Front Stay attach outboard of Rear Stay where they share a common bolt at the bottom of the forks?
Thank you.
