cut it to a shape that is at least as wide as the rear tire and then figure out how to attach it to the back of the engine or some other location in front of the rear wheel.f.

Where there is a will, there is a way. There must be some way of attaching the deflector to the bottom of the bike. It doesn't need to be attached to the engine, just some location in front of the rear wheel.

Under the engine there are 2 mounting points (M8)
(see the picture as an example)
This person made it himself from a piece of aluminum profile with a mud flap of a bicycle attached to it.
The mud flap is of the brand Bibia Click, I do not know if this is only available in the Netherlands. It is partly plastic and partly rubber.
Make sure that the mud flap is not too flexible otherwise it will blow up while riding and then it will not work.

I’ve had a few rear punctures.

I pushed my luck with a mushroom repair for around 700 miles, but it let me down. And I limped home with a repair to the repair.

My next “get me home” repair will either be removed for a “proper” internal patch or be replaced with a new tyre. Depending on the miles used.
