Rear Mud-Flaps
« on: November 03, 2004, 13:08:54 »
At some point last Tuesday (26th) I lost my off-side mud-flap somewhere between home & Carnforth (Lancashire).

I initally presumed I'd ripped it off outside the house reversing the BWSOW round the corner & up onto the kerb to load it up, but a request for a relative to have a look before it went astray turned up no flap.

I know the bracket was getting a bit 'iffy' & was starting to rust severely, but I was still a bit peeved.

Obviously I can't backtrack through Bradford, the Bingley by-pass, Keighley & up the A65*.

I've been looking in the Rimmer Brothers catalogue for replacements.

Are part numbers 'MXC 6509' (near-side) 'MXC 6510' (off-side); described as 'Rear Bracket Only' the mud-shield that the Flap attaches to?
I assume so at (£20.56 - off-side) & £19.92 (near-side)

The 'Mud-Flap Kit' 'RTC6821' must only be the flaps & bolts as it's £26.45


Anybody clarify the situation for me??, or have some flaps & brackets going spare? :D  

Are they bolted on in the same way as the front ones?, ie; through the wheel-arch to the load-space??

*Oh, & by the way.
The 'Land Rover Expercience' at Coniston Hall (Coniston Cold) on the A65 were out in force, no D3's though, but a G4 Discovery TD5 to partner the  Range Rover they have.
Sorry no photos as you can't really stop with a BWSOW hitched coming up the hill & trying to maintain 55mph.
Maybe next time?

Got more metal there than mine has Richard, mine came off with bracket, nothing left to hang it on for a while, another job to the list

Don't factory fit ones have plastic 'rivets' to hold them in place?  Saves ripping the metal away when  you loose one.

What metal :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

With mine you could put it on with masking tape and paper clips, and it would still rip out the metal of the body, the mud was the only thing holding it I think

The metal on ours is quite strong. I forgot to take the wheel clamp off once and it jammed against the mud flap bracket and stopped the car.

I now fit the wheel clamp to the front.
