Subject:Mudflaps

Can't find a source for front mudflaps for an 84 Westy. Dealer can get them
for way more money than I want to pay.

Does anyone know of alternative? If worse comes to worse (I'm going to drive
about 1000 miles of gravel roads this summer) I'll screw in regular flat
flexible mudflaps into the back of the wheelwell so it sticks out from the
body. But does anyone else have any nifty things they've done, or know of an
aftermarket flap that would fit in the correct place?

Finally, does anyone know why my van has one original mudflap (must have
been there since new) on the left side only? It screws to the cross member,
and attaches at the top through a hole in the side of the van. But there is
no corresponding hole (or flap) on the right side of the van, nor any
evidence there ever was. Is this normal? Did the R side flap only mount on
the bottom (not according to the parts diagram)?

TIA,

Steve
