Rear Mudguard Fitting

(1/2) > >>

XS850:
Can anyone help with this please? 75 CB400F
This is a new mudguard I got with the bike (not fitted), as you can see there is a large offset to it when fitting the securing bolt.  I know there’s some rubbers/washer/hollow dowels to fit with the indicator bracket but not aware of anything else to rake up clearance.
Is it just a case of “tweaking” the sidewalls to suit or am I missing something?
Cheers - Bruce

Nurse Julie:
Here's a pic of that area of my 400/4, it may help. I'll see if I can find a pic from a different angle.

Nurse Julie:
Just noticed your pic is from the near side, I think 😂😂😂

XS850:
Thanks Nurse Julie - it’s more the mounting between the mudguard & the frame I’m looking for - just need to work out if it’s the right mudguard or if I can “bend” it to suit - May have to put a spacer each side but don’t know if that’s “correct”!

I believe that a similar problem existed with replacement rear mudguards for the 750 a few years ago. I fitted one to mine (supplied with the bike) and found the threaded bolt holes to be around 1/2" out of line. After quite a lot of work, it did eventually fit and has been fine since (I needed to grind off the welded nuts, re-drill the holes in the correct place and fit bolts and locknuts).
