how to fit mudflaps
hi all ive bought some prodrive mudflaps with brackets but didnt get any instructions was wondering if anyone had a guide or instructions they could email me or even just a walk through on here.
i know technically you screw them on but last thing i want is a mudflap coming off and hitting someone or a bus full of nuns
many thanks phil

They use the existing holes in the arches, though you may need to drill a few others depending on the design of the brackets. I bolted mine onto the flap (laser cut brackets and flaps so nicely lined up ) then worked out where they needed to sit and used one existing hole. Drilled a second one at the arch and fitted a bolt and a screw for the inner arch.
Put some waxoyl on the screw to stop rusting. Job done

I fitted a set of these a good few months back , to be honest i was thankful of the instructions supplied.
Its easy when you look at a bit paper with a drawing but its a difficult one to explain !! or for me anyway.
The front ones were almost straight forward. there is a black plastic bit * Technical name * with 2 holes for the bolts, but i had to fit the nuts behind this , the use of some masking tape made it fairly easy then bolt them up, i did have to drill 2 small holes and there was self tappers supplied to fit the bracket , turning the wheel right round made this easier.
the rear ones were much along the same lines , there is 2 holes in the bumper to bolt them up.
I really ain't doing a good job hear am i. Dohhht @ me.
If you want i could take some pictures of mine and hope that might help you.
Mines are on a newage and were supplied by Scott lowe
