[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 44017, member: 586"] When I am fitting new 'guards I place some folded towels around the wheel and tyre to get a nice uniform gap between tyre and 'guard. You can use anything you like of course but I use 3 points (9 0'clock, 12 and 3) to get a nice even radius. Fit the stays to the forks and carefully adjust so they are at about right. Use paper masking tape to prevent scratching the alloy. When you are satisfied with the position just mark the holes with a felt tip pen. The masking tape also helps stop the drill bit from wandering. I always use a slightly undersize bit and finish with a round file.It is a one man job for the front but I like to enlist another pair of hands for the rear. [/QUOTE]
