Price on flexi flairs

Post by Nev62 »

Checked out the price on flexi flairs from Clark rubber, $29.95mt. Is this the average price? I need 4mt to do my 4b so at this price I'm looking at $120.

Some blokes have been using garden edging from Bunnings. I'm sure it's cheaper, but probably stiffer.

I bought mine from procomp in narre warren.

$10 a metre for the 65 - 70mm stuff. includes about 2m of stainless wire to poke in the ends, to hold the shape. was on special last month.

Dude your clark rubber has almost double the price of ours in Vic.

The 65mm stuff down here is about $16 a metre.

I used lawn edging, $18 for 10 meters, worked well.

in fact, if you buy it direct from the supplier, it is only a couple of bucks a metre, on a 50m roll

I bought some from Kmart about 3 years ago for my old 4wd (feroza) for $60.

I've been through the Bunnigs route, and that worked well. After cutting my guards I looked everywhere for another solution. Ended up going back to Clark Rubber for their $10.95/m wider stuff with the hole for the wire. Look in my member's thread for more info.
