The trouble with bracing one bit is that you move the flexing point somewhere else, and get a fracture in a new place...
That's why I was wondering whether the flexing can be shared along the length of the stay.

Will take a photo of what I made for mine in the end.
I bought boggo locosty ones and they would clearly break before many miles, so I bought some MNR ones and they were no good for my cycle wings and
clashed with the caliper (not MNR's fault I hasten to add! )
I eventually made my own using 17mm OD seamless tube, and bent in one piece (per leg) from the plate at the bottom all the way round to the outer edge
of the tyre. The tube is cross drilled and tapped (its 1/8" wall) and the stays screwed straight into it with neoprene foam tape in between.
no welds at all north of the plate on the upright.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
