    Considering the Mudflap off my 3LN is plastic, it might not be a good idea.

    What actually snapped off? the bracket from the bike, or the bracket from the mudflap?

    same thing happened to me. im now useing a piece of stainless about 1.5mm thick it was from one of those old school bed tables that mostly elderly people use. I took the broken one of the bike flattened it out with a hammer, taped the broken bits together traced around it onto the stainless then cut and drilled where required, filed the edges. bend a slight curve in it and attach to the forks bending till it fits, then attach to mud gard
