Default Mudguards

I am trying to do something clever to support the mudguards as they rotate. They are very light being made of aluminium - much lighter than the Marlin. Even so I want to design out the bouncing up and down I get on the Marlin.

So I have been doing some experimentation trying to find the rotation centre by extending the line of the king pin up to the top of the tyre..

Looks a bit Heath Robinson but I think it's done the trick.

I also made some MSVA friendly covers for the ends of the suspension arms.

They clear the bodywork by at least 2mm....
