In doing so, the original owner trashed the stainless steel fenders in retro fitting a Union bottle-type dynamo (it is on the opposite side of the bike in the photo; sorry). Anyway, I am looking for the proper replacement for both the fenders and the lighting system.

I might expect the orginals are English in origin, but there is no maker's mark or do I know of any English fender makers off hand. Any suggestions for finding replacements (either new or nearly NOS)?

The fenderstays look to be Weinmann, and are (or copies are) still available

I don't see this mudguard shape in the weinmann collection, Lepper did something a bit closer to the angled shape

This is what I currently use: http://www.m-gineering.nl/ssspatbord.jpg
