Mud flaps/gaurds/flares

Post by madmatt »

Hey there, has anyone got any ideas where to get some material strong enough to make up some flares for my truck, I need them to be 80-90mm wide to make my truck legal. I'd like them to be flexible so conveyor belt material may be what I need, just not sure where to get it. Thanks, Matt.

You could always try your local quarry and see if they have any old belts?
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

Where in the country are you??
Most quarry belts are a bit thick.....You need the thin stuff they work sand and such with i think.

How much do you need, what truck are they going on. The stuff I got was 300mm wide so I got 4 strips of 75 out of it, 55-60mm of flare.
