Nigel,
It is very tight up there, and the clearance between tyre and mud guard is
only about 1/2" at the crown, but it does work and I have never had a
problem with it clogging up. I do however give it a good blast with the
hose pipe after a really muddy arrival.
By the way do you know if there is a club mod.available for a fuel computer
or for the Andair gascolator?
