Not finding anything online for a set of flares for my series' guards.
Anyone have any recommendations as to sellers locally or overseas?
RoversNorth show them on their 'series' pages but they are for 90/110...
thanks

Not sure what you want but have you tried Flexy Flares

Flexy Flares - Bushranger (http://www.bushranger.com.au/flexy_flares.php)

But cheaper from the US Pacer Performance Flexy Flares 2.25" Wide x 58" Long 2 Piece Side Surface Mount Heavy Duty Fender Flare Set - Acme Jeep Parts (http://www.acmejeepparts.com/products/92510_400.htm)

Thanks Diana! will check out freight to see which option is better.
FAB still going strong - we had a 'leaf sprung' run last weekend - loads of fun.
I now carry about 200kg of ballast for ride comfort and flexy :)

The flares are for my 100" project - series tub/panels on RRC chassis - to meet local regs on wheels sticking out - they allow vans to have chunks of metal sticking out 100mm to carry sheets of glass with no protection but not 50mm of tyre on a car...

NeilGo figure, pretty much the same over here. Yet the coppers never seem to charge those spring over HiLuxes with tyres sticking 4" out each side. I wonder what tyres they have on when going for Rego checks?

right! - I should get a set of 650x16s for rego checks :)
Already thinking of the next project - a "longnose" Series coupe (same as German/Dutch? chap built) but on a 110/Def chassis ....

I'm in love. Wow, what attention to detail. I can see so many nice details I could incorporate into my 2A
