Default ventus c main wheel mudguard attachment

Hello,

i plan to install mudguard on main wheel. I have mudguard itself but it is not clear how/what it should be exactly attached to.
I found wheel including mudguard drawings for cirrus however i doubt there is the same attachment principle for ventus c.
I would be grateful if someone could share wheel/suspension/mudguard drawings or pics.

BR,
Martynas

Thanks for the pictures Scott, - to my surprise ventus c (b) has different suspension. "H" shaped forks are not metal but glass fiber, also no shock absorber.

Ventus B’s don’t have shock absorbers.

Not sure why you'd want to replace the "mud guard". From experience, if you land in a muddy field it jams the wheel. Best left out?

I think the fender would minimize dirt, gravel and other debris from being thrown up into the wheel well and underside of the fuselage, "mudguard"? I wonder if that nomenclature is just a translation expediency

The reason i am installing fender is to minimise amount of debris.
Thought mudguard is appropriate word, sorry, i am not native english speaker.
