Rear mudguard wiring clips
I got the photo below from a friend in the UK . He does not know what model the clips are for.
Are these clips pre war or post war or are they the same ?
If different could some one post a picture of the correct wiring clips , 1938 and 1951.

I have always thought that
I have original Handbuchs in both English and German and there is a photo showing the removal of the rear wheel where the tail light wire is visible. While the printing is not very high resolution, it appears to me that the wire clips are larger than the "single hole" clips, leading me to think they are the folded clips.
Unfortunately, my R71 does not have an original fender to go by. Can anyone with an original R51/71 fender confirm the type of wire clips?
I'd like to know for sure which is correct.
Cheers,
Bruce

I must say that living where I do I find this group invaluable in getting information about pre-war BMW's . Thanks guys .

Excellent photo showing the
Just noticed that the rear fender light bracket has round headed bolts to attach to the fender. This is the type of detail I am looking for restoring a bike, most probably would have fitted normal bolts. Are there any other rounded nuts on these bikes that would other wise be replaced with normal bolts.
