Can you adapt a crud catcher?
No, too rigid. And its pre-formed shape was causing problems fitting. What i want it to do is form around the inside curve of the seat stay brace, so it really needs to be flat and flexible.
DPC strip
Too flexible.
Flexible chopping board
Most seem to start at 3mm which is just too thick for form easily. The normal mudguard type is polypropylene, so im going to opt with that. I can get 600mmx3000mmx1mm from ebay for about £14
Most likely PP sheet, or maybe HDPE.
It would be PP. HDPE is too rigid,that pretty much what they make chopping boards out of. It can be thermal formed, but not what i need for this job. 1mm PP is likely going to form better as its going to be a complex curve. ie wheel shape, plus curve to the stay shape.
I’d just go and have a poke about the various packing items in your fridge and cupboards
I havent actually checked, but im sure its a type of PP.
Thanks all. Pretty much got the idea now for what i need, and ebay looks like the place to get it.
