Defender mudflaps on disco???

[dullbird]

Does anyone have defender mudflaps on a D1???

I'm trying to find out if its possible to fit them

Why???

Because I need to replace a mudflap and I find the factory ones have the surface area of a postage stamp

And secondly if defender size ones fit I'm thinking about getting some custom aulro ones made and if enough interest consider having a few done

Obviously I have defenders too so I can do a one size fits all well in all I mean the best models available from land rover :p

Hi
Answer is yes. I had them on a D2. You may want to modify and put some chain on them so they don't rip off when reversing over steps in the bush as they hang lower.

I'd be very interested in those mudflaps, if the price works out well.

I know the feeling of losing them, seems I have last all 4 of mine in one way or another.
I was going to just make some from multiply insertion rubber, but custom ones seem a lot better.

I did look at it a few months back but I was just so busy with work etc....thats why I'm considering revisiting it again.. I'm not looking at anything fancy

and was just looking at something like this

Obviously if I can do one size that fits a disco, a defender and possibly even some trailers??? might get more interest and help keep cost down...

it still not going to be something that is going to happen next week like I said I have only just started thinking about it again:)

Same as Shorty, I will be needing some if they come in at a reasonable price.

Like them, AULRO, just the thing. Some white paint on the lettering, NICE!!!!!

I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Good idea Lou.

Might be worthwhile considering making them a bit shorter though. Standard length is 380mm, I've cut mine down to 300mm. Eliminates getting caught on the wheel with possibility of being ripped off (ask me how I know) and would probably be more universal re fitment to Discos and trailers.

Here's a few photos of mine - haven't got around to cutting the front one yet but rears have proven successful and even though they are shorter than standard, they are actually more effective at speed as they don't fly back like they used to when longer.

PS - If you go ahead with the custom AULRO mudflaps, it might be an idea to open another thread with a more appropriate title.

Wouldn't it be easier to make them at 380mm & if you need shorter just cut them to suit your own application. Some people may need the extra length.

The most likely people who would 'need' the extra length would be those who have lifts and most of them seem to have no mudflaps anyway - probably because they have been caught on the wheel while manouvering in the extreme situations and have torn them off.

Ive owned two Defenders and ive lost count of how many Mud Flaps i have Distroyed or lost and damaged quarters.
Sorry Dullbird to sound Negative But why these on a Disco :angel: Although you could make a nice profit reselling to those that have lost them ;)

[dullbird]
