The "Everything Mud Flap" and then some thread

Drifted- I mean, fixed- that for ya.

Not a hater- I cried a little when the ti mudflap part number that was 'active' came back as 'NLA' after I tried to order it...

That happens with a lot of part orders. You don't know they are NLA for 3 months. Sometimes though,mthey do show up.

One of the main drivers for me making this thread was the number of people who have asked me about hardware. I got lucky but was intent on making some. This should offer that option to anyone else so inclined.

This is what the rear hardware looks like



Note that the 2 L shaped pieces are different lengths. The shorter one goes on the drivers side since the muffler moves the mounting flange closer to the outside of the car



Here it is attached to the flap. The curved tip is only on the drivers side. You can see in the pic above how it nestles in the the body contour when installed. All of the weight is supported by that one attachment point and it's a bit tight getting a wrench on the back side depending on how close your muffler is.

The other difference in the 2 L brackets is that on the one shown in the pic above, the nut is spot welded to the plate. This makes installation easier but is not essential to design or function. On the R side it's the bolt that is welded to the L bracket. This is a carriage bolt and all hardware is M6x1.0 (more on fasteners later).

Note that the main bracket has a 1 embossed on it and that the nut is recessed so it doesnt turn once you start tightening it. This too is not essential but clearly the engineers wanted assembly to only require a wrench on one side.

The L&R main brackets are mirror images of each other. The right side...

I have a 1989 cabriolet. I have the mud flaps for the metal bumpers on the rear but need the convertible mud flaps on the front. (the ones with the cut out notch for the rocker molding)
