[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 25797, member: 2708"] I pounded out a set of mudguards for one of the Trials bikes in 5052 al. 5052 is pretty close to the old Birmabright recipe, although I think Clevtrev has the name of an alloy that is a little closer. I tried to find Clevtrev's alloy but it was not available here (Canada) The 5052 is what the fellows on the Land Rover site use to repair or replace the Birmabright on Land Rover bodies. The consensus is that 5052 is a little less prone to vibration cracking than Birmabright is. This bodes well for the 5052 since the original Birmabright Vincent mudguards seem to have held up very well over the years. It's fairly easy to shape once it is annealed. Glen [/QUOTE]
