I'm trying to ditch as much weight off it as poss. I was going to remove the rack and front guard and fit a rear guard with the little wheel in it.
I'm not sure.if I follow you exactly but the hook seems to be part of the mudguard stays. Anyone know if it's possible to remove the front guard but retain the hook?
Will the rear rack just come off easily or will there be some.weird Brompton complication?

I think on mine the hook is separate from the mudguard stay. Can't you just take the bolt out, remove the mudguard stay and then put the bolt back with the existing hook only in place?
Why do you want to remove the guards? I'm not sure how you would wheel the folded bike around without a rear guard or rack. The rear mudguard on my (rackless) Brompton has a castor on it.
