I'll have to look up the last post but I think they packaged them three to box. I see there are at least 3 people in Melbourne that could share postage. I might have to make some inquiries and get back on this.

Hey Guys.
Generally what is preferred 50mm or 75mm? I'm a newbie to all this, so does the 75mm mean it protrude from the fender panel more or does this mean it will allow more room for the tyre to move, hence require a larger cut out? I have a set of 32's on so would 50mm be sufficient?
Cheers.
It means the distance protruding out from the side of the fender. I think 50mm would be fine for 32-33" tyres on offset rims but if looking at 35's the 75mm would be better.Quote:

I'm in need of some 50mm (at least) flexi's, just been putting it off for a while as the car is not a daily driver. I'm in perth, but can get them freighted over from a group buy if required. Otherwise if someone is over here and interested in sorting an order of some sort, let me know
Does anybody know how to fill the gap between the outer and inner panels of the rear door when trimming the guard. I had a look at this link http://www.discoweb.org/ecrflares/index.htm but not sure how he fills the gap. I have heard some people use expanding foam and others say not to?
The LRA f/glass flares cap the cut section of the doors but the flexi flares dont so some generous amounts of sikaflex or other silicone sealer will be required.Quote:

I had the plastic flares and have since gone to the LRA fibreglass ones/Quote:
