can someone answer me a simple question...
i have just put my new 3.9 ltr engine together and ran it yesterday for the first time .. finally worked out how to map the fuel on the Haltech and got it ideling ok ... however i did have an oil leak ... but it was not from a gasket as i would have assumed... it is comming from what looks like a bolt hole between the oil pump and the crank, there is a recessed section on the cover that appears to have a hole in it ... if some one could have a quick look on their car and tell me if there is a bolt in it i would appreciate it very much

thanks a lot

Just gave the guy a call, $185 set of 4 if we buy 5+ sets. No guard cutting required, 2 1/2 inches wide.

If no guard cutting you wont be fitting any large rubber.

Michael.

Yeah I need to cut the guard

And if i can get em for around that price with guard cuttin I AM IN

It's not required but I don't think that means you can't. They apparently mount like the US bushwacker(???) flares

will they fit to a cut and shut rear door.

Michael.

I don't know, might buy a set and see. As you can see my guards are fairly heavily trimed.

For that price I am also in, but need to be able to cut guard, as this is the whole point of getting them.

i think you will find that these are only dress flares ie, they just fit to the shape of the original gaurd edge without any cutting required.
they would be good if you have slightly wider rubber that doesnt chew out your arches and need a bit of flying mud protection.
They have lots of other Rangie goodies though.

Count me in need some for my RWC That price for 2 doors maggot4x4? Or is it the same

I believe it's the same price. I will try to get there next week and find out some more details.

Thanks mate, how many are interested so far, we close to a group buy??

Sorry guys have not had a chance to get out there yet but will let you know when I can. Prob tomorrow.

Was looking at flexy flares from bushranger as an option, need to cover at least the fronts for my rwc any advice if they're worth it

Go to clark rubber, you can buy it by the metre, i think it cost me about $40 to do the gaurds on my 81 Rangie, thats front and rear.

Any pics on your install or just screwed inside the guards on the lip.

i also got stuff from clark rubber, but i got stuff that screws to the actual outside face of the pannel, as i am about to guard chop and this seems heaps easier to do then to make a new lip at 90* to the pannel so the sit properll

Dave

Sweet now I just have to find a clarke rubber within 2 hours drive

Ok, Went to see the flares today, they are quite good, they come in 2 door and 4 door. They attach via pins thru the guard (drilling required) with a nut on the inner guard. I have ordered a set for my rangie and the will arrive next thursday. WIll take photos when the arrive for you all to see.

If you guys like them he will supply to me for $140 for 2 doors and $160 for 4 doors (complete set) plus freight.

Cheers

But what about us 4drs that need to cut our guards how do we go about new door seals and shit ? ? ? or canthese be reused or easily bodged up ?

No chance of some pics
If they can be fitted to chopped guards who wants to help me do the chopping of my guards as i am abit scared that i will completely fark it up



Cheers

Me thinks these flares are dress flares only and wil bolt to the origonal guard.

If you want flares for chopped guards then you stuck with Les Richmond Motors,ETC.

But I could be wrong.

How much you planning on cutting?

Will take photos next week when they arrive.

Will fit em up to my guards as the have a heap cut out of them to you can see for yourself.

I was looking at cutting about 1.5" front and rear but after looking at the rear i dont think 1.5" will be a good idea.............. any able to tell me otherwise.

Probably end up cutting out 1" all round in the end, i dont think i need to cut out anymore than that. I also would like someone abit more confident than myself to do it. I AM A PANZY



Anthony

Just chop it Anthony:

took me a long time to cut the first rear door aprox 100 mm off it.

second one took 15 min.

The cut line is about 10mm out from the screws you can see in the pic.

Michael.

Same here Michael,

First rear door I was sweating like my "first time", had to wipe my forehead like a million times!
Second door took ~15min, its all in the "been there, done that" thing.

Ok, they just arrived at my door, here are some photos for you guys to look at and see what you think.

Have not had the chance to fit them yet but will post pics when I have.

The flares themselves are about 50mm wide. and fit flush with the outside of the panel not under the lip.

Cheers

2 more with a clamp holding them in place

Should look good mate!!

They look good, and the price is great, anythings better then the prices Les Richmond auotmotive here in Victoria Charge.

So does anybody want a set?
