Thread: Kaymar rear wheel carrier wing extensions for 3rd party mud flaps

I gave up, rang them and asked for Nichol, they said they would pass on the message, nothing, so moved on, the ones I made are fine, made some new mudflaps to fit onto the adaptors, all good.

Thanks for your help Greald, guess KAYMAR are not interested that much.

I want have time to install for quite awhile though.

Can send some pics but probably look the same as already posted here.

They arrived this morning.

They look as per a previous pic in the the thread so I will not post any at this stage.

I will once I put them on but that will not be for awhile.

I have some cheap after market ones on at the moment which are not well secured after getting the kaymar bar as you lose one of the screw connectors. I need to take them off before putting on the new ones. Not a lot of work but more than I have time for now.

The rubber sure looks sturdy enough may be as other have said a bit short but will not know until I install them.

Well I got a bit ambitious tonight and thought I would put the new mudflaps on.

After all how hard could that be

FYI the mudflaps provided are 270x260 (l x w).

The other thing is the brackets don't line up with the holes in the cayman bar properly.

You can bolt them on but the bracket is not flush/mould with the bar. When I hold the bracket up to the bar it does but the holes in the bracket don't line up then.

I have contacted Kaymar and hopefully it will be sorted out.

There are no instructions but I am guessing where things a bolted together. There are a couple of rubber stoppers I am unsure what they are for.

I should have left this alone as am going away in a couple of days and putting back the old mudflap will be a pain.

Here are some pics.

I have not done up nuts tight but you can see the problem.

This pic shows my install problem more clearly - i think.

I used a bit of card board to make a mask of the end of the kaymar barand then overlaid the mudflap bracket holes with the holes in the end of the kaymar bar.

I have sent this to Kaymar as well.

Note I have a my14 D4 and only got my kaymar installed late last year.

That's not good Richard, even I managed to make mine to line up with the holes and make it flush, mine I made from alloy checker plate I had lying around, used a vice to do the bends, cost me nothing, I bought a square metre of rubber for $45 to make the mud flaps.

Never had any joy dealing with Kaymar.

Yep it is a shame. I am waiting on Kaymar to get back to me.

I thought the problem was fixed, why I ordered them.

I note the some parts of the bracket are a bit different than what has been posted before.

Some one mentioned the bar that holds the mudflap on had 4 holes. It still has 4 holes but is now like a T piece with the 4th hole in the tail of the T piece. The mudflaps are a bit smaller as well based on some one else measurements.

If I hear anything I will post again.

Richard

An update - Kaymar have got back to me and will sort it out. Fairly happy with the service I got.

RECOMMENDATION:
If you get a kaymar bar get the mudflaps at the same time if you want them.
