I have used specialists in the past to make the ‘bridge’ sections, after having to throw away my failed attempts, despite me having oxyacetylene gear ! One guy in particular, Andy Newton from Strelley, Nottingham, seems to have the knack of making them by eye, without a press tool. The difficult bit is the double kink where the bridge emerges from under the mudguard, then steps out so as to give more clearance between tyre and the stay.
