Well, I don't know how you installed your front mudflaps, but mine fit
perfectly on my 1984 Westy.

Those listees in Winnipeg that have seen the install - all like it and want
a set. If someone provides me with a place to put pictures of the install,
I'll be happy to provide digital pictures.

I admit the instructions were like a photocopied felt-pen drawing, but it
was good enough. I mean - we're not trying to install a drive plate onto our
torque converters, are we?

As for the rear ones - I don't have a set, so I cannot add to or take away
from your comments.
