MAG473 14 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It seems that most of our Metz cars are missing the chain guards. How much interest in having new guards made? I'm in southeastern Minnesota. Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz68 9 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I surely be interested Link to post Share on other sites
Bharper 20 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Yes, the chain covers are almost always missing. I suspect that after a few removals for servicing the chain they were discarded as being "too much trouble" to re-install. I have shaken my head when I peruse the For Sale Ads, in recent years, of Metz cars which have received expensive restorations and the chain covers along with other guards or covers are Missing. Big money for Completely and Authenticity restored cars. Buyer Beware and Do Your Research. Link to post Share on other sites

MAG473 14 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 These chain guards are a work in progress. Fortunately I had one original to use as a pattern. I will have to make mounting brackets and the flexible strip for lubrication. I had a local shop make the guards using the same process as the original. The seams are made by crimping the edges together. Link to post Share on other sites

Land24 1 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I would like a set or the patterns so I could make them. I have none and have never seen them in person. Link to post Share on other sites
MAG473 14 Posted Tuesday at 10:45 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 10:45 PM I have traced a pattern of a chain guard onto brown paper. Will mail to anyone who requests them. I will also send photos of an original to show hardware needed to install. Wayne Link to post Share on other sites
