I just cut a strip out of some sheet aluminum with a hacksaw and then used a hammer to form it around something about the same radius as the fender. Then I clamped it to the fender, with the rubber in between it and the fender, and drilled through the "sandwich" in two places and finally bolted them all together.<br /><br />I don't have plans for any more rack classes this spring. I might start up again next fall, but I'm not sure yet.Pat Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348722701872187949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-68630650990441638742011-03-16T10:22:15.472-07:002011-03-16T10:22:15.472-07:00Hi, first time commenting on your blog but I'v...Hi, first time commenting on your blog but I've been reading it for a while now. I really like that bracket you made to hold the mudflap to the fender. Do you suppose there is any way one could make something similar with basic handtools? I have planet bike freddy fenders on my bike and the stock mudflap leaves much to be desired.<br /><br />Also, will there be any openings for rack building this year?<br /><br />JonathanJonathan Eberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221878732234029511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-49311092166090900142011-03-14T23:02:59.142-07:002011-03-14T23:02:59.142-07:00Alan.

To me, it's still a little bit like staring directly at the sun. Looking forward to getting some dirt on it to kill the glare. I think the light is up high enough so that cars will catch it from both sides of the road.<br /><br />Andrew, DBA Erinn: Fortunately for my friends, I'm normally bringing up the rear.Pat Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348722701872187949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-34769453126639666762011-03-14T12:27:09.130-07:002011-03-14T12:27:09.130-07:00whoops, i thought that i was signed in as myself. ...whoops, i thought that i was signed in as myself. i accidentally used my fiancee's account.
