Wanted: Rear mudguard bracket/clip thingy for late 80's Raleigh frame

There must be a few folks who've permanently stripped the mudguards off of Routiers etc so I hoping someone kept the rear mudgaurd bracket and would be happy to part with it.

Mine has fatigued (you think Londons roads are bad, try riding in Coventry - feels like there's cobbles everywhere right now) and without it the bike is pretty much unrideable as it's catchin the tyre, besides being just too damn noisy.

I appreciate I could remove the rack assembly and guard, but as I use the bike for work, and work involves lugging stuff about, I need to attach bags to it.

Here's some pics of the piece I need to replace, including one for scale.

Please send me a message or reply here if you can help, even if it's just to point out that they're readily replaceable and available from a man on the end of a phone somewhere...

Ta.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
