Mudflaps from Kettering Leather

Yesterday I had a delivery for Bumble B, a little surprise for him.

Today while overhauling him I put some new leather YELLOW mud-flaps on. I got this from  Jim Barret of Kettering Leather who works with leather and also a Brompton fan

Drilling out the rivet on rear mudguard
Installing the new mud-flaps was pretty easy, only thing was that I had to drill out the rivet on the rear mud guard. Came out pretty easy. As suggested by Jim B I put mud-flaps on with the wheels off. Makes it ALOT easier to get to the bolts on the inside edge of the mudguard blades to make sure they secured properly.

I have to say I'm liking the quality of the leather, I almost don't want them to get wet or dirty now they look so good.

You can also get leather top tube protector, handlebar /saddle  bags & hub shiners in different colours to match your Brompton. There is even a "bespoke" section for something unique you may have in mind. Check out the link below to order your leather for your Brompton.
