1964 TV3 mudguard

[Kristof Lammy pie]

Should my 64' TV3 have a steel of fibreglass mudguard please? It currently has a bent steel one.


If it should have a fibreglass where is the best place to get a good copy.

Cheers

As far as I'm aware it should be fibreglass.

most TV 175 came with metal mudguards.
you will come across some fibre glass ones as well but most of these went on to be fitted to the TV200

That's news to me - mine is fibreglass.

Snap, glass on my TV (Italian 1964) and my TV3 ('63) wore one in 1968.

This question came up some months ago in my restoration thread, seem it was pot luck which you got when new and what might have been replaced in all the years before hand.

I've never heard of TV175 SIII's having steel ones before.

I go for fibreglass

I have had a 64 and a 65 TV series 3 and both had steel mudguards

[missing lynx]

the problem is unless you owned a tv200 or 175 from new you wouldn't know if it had a fibreglass mudguard or not as I would imagine most were mashed within the first year of being on the road then being replaced with what ever replacement the dealer has

Had new '62 and '64.....both had fibreglass & Li style panels, also had several friends with 175/200 Tv and the mudguards didn't last very long! mostly they were repaired, cut off square, or replaced with nanucci style....maybe there were some metal ones, but I don't think that we worried too much back then - Keith

Just to muddy the waters, my Italian TV3 came with a steel Li in the metallic blue and all the fasteners looked just like those holding down the leg shields.
Dealer I bought it off in '99 gave me a new UK glass one 'because they all had them from new'.

My TV3 came from Rome. I can't imagine the glass front lasting too long...

Bought a 63 TV175 S3 straight of the boat from Nigel Cox for £1250 in 2001 that had a metal front mudguard fitted as well as LI panels and unusually single seats.
