    Names on Mudguards

    It is always interesting to find a name usualy under a few layers of paint.
    I was cleaning the 80"guards " I just can't call them wings".
    Sometimes you will find 1 or even 2 other names underneath.
    The name underneath looks like it was from the old wool bail stencil in black.

    This is a interesting one
    The name on the bottom may be the property name as i could not find anything close on the post code book.

    Mendooran is on the road between Gilgandra and Dunedoo, perhaps if you contact the Post Office you may find out if the property still exists and is still in the same family.

    You may find all sorts of information.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    It came on a well travelled 80" that was completley worn out .

    Tote. A good possibility, the second letter is strange looks like a N with the end bit missing. You are closer than i thought it was. The guards are actualy 86 guards that were fitted to a 80". Looks like you are in the running for the cigar.......Mark

    And 26661042 - Build No 17717.
    Engine No26110096 - Gearbox No 26110095.
    some one may have the one in between.
    they came from far apart.
    If i ask Bobslandies nicely he may find out their starting point.
    I will dig out the other No's so we know where they went. Mark
