Chain Guard question (answered)

-

TRM

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Any Shelby owners or experts out there? Working on a slightly warped chain guard and need to know if the face is flat or curved in any way!

Thanks in advance!

In my opinion, if you find it is curved and pretty uniform you may want to leave it that way- unless you are a very skilled metal smith I think you will end up with very wavy product.
The guards I have had (from leaky memory) were flat.
 
Definitely flat.. I've done one it's not bad but you do have to have body work experience/skills.. it will show every speck of warpage dents and filler if not done right..

Thanks everyone, I believe that it's confirmed that the guard is indeed flat.:sunglasses:
 
If I read a post on Rat Rods bike correctly, TRM is not trying to reshape a guard, he wants to know if it's flat or rounded so that he knows how to shape a mold for reproduction purposes.
