Hi Rob,

Been thinking about this. Difficult to give you dimensions because there are (lots of) deviations from scale. Possibly the best thing to do would be to let you have the tyre dimensions and a photo of a real mudguard?
I can't get at the thing at the moment. Its buried in the conservatory behind loads of car boot sale stuff dumped by 'er in drawers. (For one of her dog charities). Knew I should have taken it straight into the workshop when I got back from Shepton!!

I really hate being defeated by something I don't have the skills to make.

Paul - how is yours coming on ?

well i started the trailer today i have got the walking beams done and thay work well just need the wheels to finnish the running gear then i thought that i better check that a tank could climb the ramps so i have mocked a set out of ply wood and fitted them to the trailer as i thought they needed some grip so i put some wet and dry on the ramps that solved the problem now i can make the proper ramps and rc them so far its going to plan
