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)?

rmmw and others sell the bus mudflap, oem style for 79 down buses, but this
can also be used on a vanagon.
