Well I finally got the mud flaps I ordered from Just Kampers installed on my
87 syncro. I don't have any pictures yet but here are some notes on what I
had to do to get them installed:

1. First I had to remove the existing rubber fender extensions. Each of
these were held on with 3 bolts that were all pretty cruddy and rusty. The
bolts are molded into the rubber extensions and I ended up destroying one
extension but managed to get the other 3 off intact.

2. The rear flaps are held on to the edge of the fender with u-shaped clips
and set screws. There is also a bracket that secures the inner edge of the
mud flap to the frame. The bracket uses a similar u-shaped clip and set
screw to hold the bracket to the frame. This doesn't seem substantial enough
to me--I think I'm going to have to come up with another way of attaching
this bracket to the frame.

3. The front flaps are secured to the edge of the fender with spring clips.
These went on pretty easy but I did have to drill a hole in the frame just
to the inside of the jack point to secure the inside edge of each mud flap.
I threaded a piece of fuel hose on the bolt here to act as a spacer instead
of using the stock bolts/washers.

I wonder what I should do about the stock mud flap that protects the propane
tank? Looks weird to have 2 mud flaps only a few inches apart...
