The mudguards came with the mounting hardware, except that they don't have the little plastic end caps for the stays. The stay ends can be pretty sharp, and are a potential hazzard in a crash, so its probably best to cap them somehow.

The stay end caps would need to be a bit smaller than that. Anyone know of any small plastic caps available at auto parts or hardward stores that would work for stay end caps, and what such items would be called?

I cut the stays so only a tiny bit protrudes and throw the caps away. The plastic caps always dissappear leaving a sharp end
