Mud Flaps

[whitehillbilly64]

Bought new mudflaps.
Old one looks like stud and rivet ( round nut, rivet )
Do I cut the backs off the original ones, or to they unscrew some how.
New ones came with bolts and nuts.
Thanks

When I did mine - I just removed the old ones (“rivnuts”) and installed the new with nuts, bolts, washer and split washer. I used a washer coz I was worried that the rubber would split with only a nut/bolt.

rivnuts, yes that's what they look like.
Nothing on the head side to undo. Will have another look.
Bearmach ones came with nuts, bolts and bracket.
Thank You

Some of my rivnuts came off easily - others I had to get the grinder out... [thumbsupbig][wink11]

and the rubber in them tends to crack easily around the fixings these days, so i used a thin strip of metal along the top to help them out.

seems to have stopped the issue.
