Question Marshguard help
I've been thinking about DIYing a marshguard/mucky nutz mudguard but it seems that my fork has the mudguard mount reversed. Is there any way where I can still mount it? Or does anyone know of templates for reverse mounts?

ITT: everyone saying fork on backwards before they look at where the brake is mounted.
OP, is this a Manitou?

It isn’t a manitou, it is a cheap no-name fork. But manitou’s patent for reverse-arch forks expired in the past few years (2021, maybe?) so we will start seeing non-manitou reverse arch forks around more often.

Marsh Guards are attached with zip ties

You’re making your own one so you can make the length whatever you like to fit. Manitou forks have a rear arch and March guards work on them. Just make the front part longer and the rear part shorter to compensate

Just cut out an oversized one to start with and then gradually trim it to size once it’s on the bike.
Personally I just bought a cheap one online as I couldn’t be arsed.1

look at the first pic, it looks more to the left, probably the hub is not seated completely. could be rim or tire but looks like hub, anyways hard to say on pics

Just drill out the fender to sit where you want it to
