South African. Bus Depot 6881. German rubber ones out of my price range. Biggest reason I got the set is because they are on sale.

They mostly clip in place and as supplied don’t need many holes drilled. If you want them to stay in place that requires a little work. The clips don’t do well at high speeds or heavy rains or deep snow. On Fun Bus I drilled the fender lips and used small sheet metal screws from the back into the flaps. I also glued them to the fender lips. For the rear that bracket with the clamp tends to bend letting the screw loosen. Be creative and add another bracket to screw that in place securely. Then you should be good. They look great and hold up well if you keep them attached. > > Dennis > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of ddbjorkman@verizon.net > Sent: Friday, May 15, 2020 12:50 PM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: Mud Flaps > > HI All. I recently went all out and bought a full set of mud flaps from Bus Depot (# 6881). I have looked for videos on installing them, although they look like an easy install, to no avail. Any tips. tricks or best practices anyone can lend me? I bought all 4 on sale. Any reason not to put them all in place? > Dave B.
