Ariel 1946-50 Front #30-1
/ Vintage Steel/ Michael RockAriel motorcycle front D section mudguards from the 1940's had subtle changes through the model years. This sample was taken from a 1949 plunger 500cc OHV model. The finished width is 130mm. This guard is finished with a the Ariel pattern rib, number-plate mount pressings, fork and stand mount pressings, stand mount reinforcing plate and a rolled and folded nose. There is then a difficult hand shaping of the rib into the nose lip. See links below for other year models and rear guards. Many others available not yet pictured. (Stand mount reinforcing plate not fitted on purple backdrop photos)
Note: The shaping of the moustache-like nose end is done by hand and will vary from one sample to another.
