Mud Flaps

Postby 1984FXGT » Fri Aug 22, 2014 4:04 pm

Does anyone know if Rally style mud flaps are legal on road cars?

Also where can one buy the rubber apart from palmside. Looking for black or coloured if possible. Thanks

Really helps if we know where in the country you are..

Try any rally specialist workshop, or alternatively big trucks use heavy duty rubber mudflaps too. TWL etc might be worth a shot.
Either way, they wont be cheap for big heavy duty mudflaps.

Para rubber might have something.
Or any truck place. One larger truck 24x24 one should make 4 for your car. Will be sub $30. However I suspect the truck rubber ones might be a bit think.

Also worth talking to anyone that supplies Engineering Plastics as they'll have something be it plastic or rubber that works.Can't recall what I used last time but pretty sure it came from Dotmar or one of the other plastics crowds out there

Racetech is the place to get it from. Not that expensive and deliver within a day or two.

I was a bogan, and just took an old rubber floor mat, hacked it roughly to shape and cable tied it to the existing mudflap.

However, in my defence, this is because I also run my car low for tarmac, so I can't leave large mudflaps on the car so they have to come off when I drop the height down again.

It looked terrible. Really really terrible :)
