[QUOTE="davidd, post: 44006, member: 1177"] Kevin, I take it that "new" means there are no holes drilled in the mudguards. I cannot give you the numbers you are looking for, but you will need the valanced mudguard stays which are FT136/1AS (short) and FT137/1AS (long). Once the forks are together and the stays are mounted, test the mudguard fit for best contact at the three mounting points. You may have to squeeze or widen the mudguard so that it contacts all three points at once as Jan mentioned. If the short and long stays are somewhere near the stock mounting position, that is probably the best you can do. Once you have gotten the fore and aft positioning of the stays, then mount the front wheel and check that the front and rear of the guards are centered on the tire. They usually twist so the top is to one side and the rear is to the other. Once you have adjust it as best you can mark and drill. I usually mount pre-drilled mudguards. I often have to weld up the holes and re-drill. I usually make my own stays so I can fudge the tab mounting and I can sometimes get away with using the pre-drilled holes. David [/QUOTE]
