Side mount flares

Post by macey »

Hi any one know a new link that works from old posts RE: to buy side mounted rubber flares that screw into side of wheel arches instead of under lip. There was a place on ebay over bayswater in Vic that sold them.

Any help be appreciated.

Cheers

All 4b shops will sell something like this. And any place that sells Bushwacker (or whatever there called). Will be able to get it in for you.
There are cheaper alternatives, from places like Clark Rubber and Purple Pig etc. But I would still go for a flare that has the wire inserted. With out they just sag after awhile and look shit.

I used to have some of the stuff from Clark Rubber on my GU's wheel arches before I got some aftermarket factory looking flares.

It comes extruded with a hole along the outside (in the centre of the "blob" on the outside of the flare in the pic in the post near the top of the page) which I shoved a lenth of #8 fencing wire down after cutting the flare to length. Perfect fit and worked out heaps cheaper than the bushwacker flares from the four wheel drive shops.

I forgot that the clark rubber stuff had the hole. And thats good to know. As I will need flares soon I hope.

Do these come with the bolt and nut or just the rubber flare themselves and we have to supply the bolts and nuts ourselves?

Do they have the wire insert in them?

And Hulsty, do you have any left and what are you looking for them?

cheers mate.
