Rear Mudflaps - No Instructions..Help!
Bought a set of non-drill rear mudflaps for my T25. At the very least I would have expected them to come with an instructions sheet, but that would have been too easy
Does anyone know of any diagrams floating around cyberspace that I could have a look at before a complete novice like myself makes a pigs ear of what I would expect to be a fairly easy job
Thanks in advance

Re: Rear Mudflaps - No Instructions..Help!
I got ones from JK , after fitting the first one using the clips I used self tapping screws through the arch and put the clips away , they really didn't feel sturdy , I used hamerite primer behind the screw to protect from rust , I did use the bar that goes to the chassis member .
I will go and see if I still have instructions , give me five mins ..... if I have I'll scan and send to you

Ok, thanks for that. Couldn't get the clips on. Then I realised why. It was because there was a thick coating of white rubberised sealant under the rear arches preventing the clips from going on securely
Might try the self tapping screw method myself.

I remember now , that was my problem , do I strip off the rubber paint and then primer it so the clips fit , I thought a couple of self tappers were the better option , you need the rubber paint to stop stone chips .

Re: Rear Mudflaps - No Instructions..Help!
Thanks very much for your help Dwayne. Got 'em on now. Decided that I didn't really want to drill holes in the arches of my van so scraped enough white rubberised sealant off for the clips to fit securely. I then put a coat of Tetrosyl with Waxoyl on. While it was still wet I fitted the mudflaps so that the bolts screwed into the Tetrosyl to form a watertight seal. Then I wiped of the excess Tetrosyl.
