G'Day,

does anyone here have knowledge, articles, experience, etc to cover how
metal motorcycle mudguards are made?

I suspect it involves a number of matched former rollers in a frame
which allows the roller pairs to be adjusted much like the rollers in a
sliproll.

The guards we're interested in are standard C section guards in metal
which are shaped into a circular shape for at least 270 degrees.

If anyone has any information (links, article references, etc) which can
help us make up a machine to make some guards, please help since the
"local" guy who used to make them for the restoration hobbyists is so
overworked that deadlines are being dropped.

Des, I think you want to google up "english wheel".
