Replacing original mudguards on a '65 Jubilee with after market chrome

I use 13mm Stainless Steel for the stays, I have alloy dies to form the flat ends and shape the blending from tube to flat, dress to a circle on end and then drill holes.

I think you mean 1.3 mm! Or about 1/16 inch.
Ooops! Now I think you are referring to a tube DIAMETER, not wall thickness. 13 mm diameter would make a nice stay.

Yes 13mm Diameter, very close to the 1/2" used in the day.

Beautiful, Baz! Your pride and joy, I bet.
Thanks, Kommando. Are those dies available or did you make them up? Would appreciate any info on them I'm going to go the universal mudguard route and will need to make up at least eight of them.
