Conveyer belting comes in various widths and thickness.
try "conveyers" in the yellow pages or quarry machinery suppliers, or industrial belting

I got from Clark as well, more like $40 a meter when you start to get into the 6" wide stuff. Maybe I was just ripped?

Clark Rubber as for cost it depends on the thickness and width of the rubber, bought some today to make some of those inner guard flaps, 1.5mm x 200mm = $9.50/m some of the thicker stuff is up to $40/m

Conveyor source in Brisbane

Post by Damo »

I rang this place in Brissy and told the bloke (Roger) i needed a couple of pieces about 300 x 2000 and between 5mm and 10mm thick. He said I could rat through their scrap bin and take what I wanted. OR if there wasn't anything in the scrap bin suitable he'd sell to me out of stock for about $50.

FYI, here's their details:

Pit Top Conveyor Products
Unit 8, 47 Overlord Place
Acacia Ridge QLD 4110

I got a sheet of a hard plastic from Revolution Racegear... It is what the rally guys use.

Expensive, @ $83 for a 1.5 metre length, but man it is tough...

A Collegue had a set on his 80 that did 2 Safari's and countless km's at High Speed on gravel (inc over 200kph for long periods) and they survived for years...


Mine have been on for about 12 month, and my tyres rub on them, and they are holding up well. Best investment i have made :)

If your after Cheap, why not duct tape some shopping bags on the guard ;)

What I want to do is on the back of a ute with a flat tray. The tray covers the tyre but there is no guard or mudflap.

I have seen some winch challenge type rigs with a whole guard made out of rubber sheet. Anyone got any pics of that kinda setup?

I'll have to have a look around and see if i can get a picture of what i'm talking about.

Like a truck style? Piece of rubber hanging straight down from the tray?

Go to a truck wrecker or truck parts place...
