No, not the kind you buy at the op shop... but bunnings plastic is okay

I have an 88 WT Sierra, and the standard PLASTIC flares are not going to go close to covering the swampers.

I have searched for pics, but most of the threads are empty. The plastic flares hang down from the metal lip, so i cant screw into straight into this. Anybody gat any ideas of what can be done on the cheap?

Cheers

Its cost $7.95 mtr and is about 50mm wide, looks pretty good too!

Before or after the virtual lift?

I can see how you attached it in pic below, but the widest part of my plastic flares is vertical.
