Hi All

Does anyone know the cheapest place to get 90 Mud Flaps (TD5)? and how
much they are roughly?

I seem to have lost one from the front and one from the back :-(

Thanks
Phil

Try Land Rover, they are only £16(ish) plus VAT each, with bracket. They do
seem to fall off for the fun of it though.

This weeks LR price is £13.00 + VAT. There don't seem to be any pattern
ones on the market yet.

A bit of old conveyor belt and a sharp stanley knife is all that's
required.

Hi

Where does a normal person get some old conveyor belt from though? I
will probably replace the proper flaps bit it would be good to
strengthen them with something. The rear one that I lost was had split
along a crease and just fell off it was only about a year old.

Thanks
Phil

I normally go to the local quarry and exchange beer for used conveyer
belting (and other sundry useful items).

If it's for mud flaps? Try scrounging the remnant mud flaps off HGV's
broken wheel arches and cutting to size. You would see them in trailer
yards thrown about or try trailer repair depots, they would probably pay
you to take them away LOL. I use these on my trailer wheel arches, keeps
crap down very well. Dave
One tip, is fit them with a flat plate across the width, through which
the fixing bolts go rather than the penny washers that are used.

That's what's on mine. Black plastic things with a sort of coarse black
plastic hairy stuff on, 's got a name, but it's spray suppression stuff.
Previous owner worked in a truck-repair place.
