Help with Carlton restoration project

I think you will find those tiny mudguards, were there to satisfy the technicality of the law at the time. It said you had to have mudguards on the road and , by precedent 6" was deemed adequate.

A thing that might be of interest, I use modern 75mm "V" brake blocks these days. They stop you as well as any brake can (skid or over the bars) and are kinder to the rims.
